It's interesting to me that it seems such a novel and foreign concept to gather around an employee and ask how can we support you when they're not well
In this episode of Recovery Talk, you'll hear from two remarkable guests, Kattie Lail of We Face It Together and Betsy Craft of the Colorado Drug Policy Coalition. Kattie shares her personal journey through addiction and how her experiences have shaped her role in supporting others facing similar challenges. She discusses the importance of compassion and support within the workplace, particularly when dealing with staff experiencing recurrences of substance use.
Kattie's story highlights the transformative power of understanding and the positive impact it can have on both individuals and organisations. Betsy Craft brings a different perspective, focusing on drug policy advocacy and harm reduction. She talks about her work with the Colorado Drug Policy Coalition and their efforts to promote enlightened drug policies based on evidence, human rights, and public health best practices.
Betsy's own struggles with substance use and the criminal justice system add depth to her advocacy work, illustrating the real-world implications of policy decisions. Together, Kattie and Betsy provide a comprehensive look at both personal recovery and systemic change, offering valuable insights for anyone involved in peer recovery support or interested in drug policy reform. Their stories remind us that recovery is not just an individual journey but a collective effort that requires empathy, support, and a commitment to change.
Tune in to hear these inspiring stories and gain a deeper understanding of the multifaceted nature of addiction and recovery. You'll come away with a renewed sense of hope and practical strategies for supporting those in your community.
