One pill can kill, and that's why I'm so passionate about this message and the fact that I grew up in a family with substance abuse.
Fentanyl is not just another drug; it's a lethal crisis that's claiming lives at an alarming rate. In this eye-opening episode of 'Turning Points: A Compass for Mental Health and Recovery', host Andrae Bailey, alongside co-host Lindsay Bettis, dives deep into the harrowing impact of this synthetic opioid. Bailey’s personal brush with substance abuse within his family fuels his passion for addiction prevention and recovery, making this discussion both urgent and heartfelt. But it’s not just about fentanyl.
The episode also sheds light on the mental health struggles exacerbated by the pandemic. Bailey and Bettis stress the importance of acknowledging these issues rather than sweeping them under the rug. They highlight the role of social impact initiatives, like those by the Miss America Organization, in promoting awareness around mental health and substance abuse. Plus, they introduce the Nobu wellness app, a handy tool for anyone seeking support and resources for their mental well-being.
This episode is a powerful reminder that taking responsibility for our own health and supporting others is crucial. Tune in to understand the gravity of fentanyl's impact and to explore ways we can all contribute to a healthier, more aware community.
