Turning Addiction into the Enemy: Jerry Moe on Helping Families Heal

We make the disease the enemy.
Imagine a world where children can freely express their feelings about a loved one's addiction without feeling disloyal. In this heartfelt episode of 'The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast', host Margaret Swift Thompson welcomes back Jerry Moe, a master storyteller and advocate for children's mental health. Jerry dives into the transformative Children's Program at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, where creativity, play, and connection are the cornerstones of healing.
He explains how art, writing, and even a character named Beamer help kids see addiction as the enemy, not their loved ones. This shift allows them to open up and share their stories in a safe and supportive environment. Whether you're a parent, family member, or just someone who cares, this episode offers valuable insights into supporting children through the complexities of addiction. Tune in to learn how these innovative approaches can help your family embrace recovery together.
