What happens when a community leader, a mental health advocate, and a bishop come together to discuss one of the most pressing issues of our time? In this episode of 'Turning Points: A Compass for Mental Health and Recovery', host Andrae Bailey is joined by Lindsay Bettis and Bishop Derek McCray to tackle the opioid epidemic head-on. They dive into the alarming rise of fentanyl and its devastating impact on addiction rates across America.
But it’s not just about the drugs; it’s about the people and the communities affected. The trio also addresses the often-taboo topic of seeking clinical help for depression, highlighting the importance of breaking down these stigmas. They emphasize how community support can be a lifeline in addiction recovery and explore the role faith plays in helping individuals find their way back from the brink.
Social media’s influence on mental health is another hot topic, with discussions on how it can both harm and help those struggling with addiction. Feeling isolated or hopeless? This episode offers a powerful message: you’re not alone. By coming together, seeking help, and supporting one another, we can make a difference. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that blends personal stories with expert insights, offering hope and practical advice for anyone touched by addiction.
