Young Adult Recovery: Insights and Family Support with Norah Lasorsa

It is a journey with all its trials and tribulations
Imagine navigating the tumultuous waters of addiction recovery as a young adult. In this compelling episode of 'Airing Addiction', host Lisa Blanchard sits down with Norah Lasorsa, who leads the Young Adult Program at Spectrum Health Systems in Westborough. Together, they dive into the unique challenges and triumphs faced by young adults on their path to recovery. Lasorsa sheds light on the importance of family engagement and how a collaborative approach can make a world of difference.
One standout feature discussed is the family engagement curriculum at Spectrum Health Systems, designed to help families better understand addiction and provide robust support to their loved ones. By having both a clinician and a family member co-facilitate, the program offers a balanced perspective, ensuring families are well-equipped with essential knowledge and skills. This episode also touches on the emotional and practical aspects of the Shatterproof Walk, an event that unites families and individuals affected by addiction.
It's a powerful reminder that no one has to face this journey alone. With heartfelt stories and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction, especially those supporting young adults through their recovery.
