Finding Purpose and Managing Anger: A Journey with Right Mind Media

Recovery is an ongoing process, not just for substance use but also for mental health issues. Prevention in adolescence and finding a bigger purpose in life are crucial for healthy development. Effective anger management involves mindfulness, grounding techniques, and self-soothing practices. The hosts' insights offer a fresh perspective on navigating recovery and prioritizing mental health. Open discussions about recovery help normalize seeking help and support, reducing stigma.
Recovery is starting to emerge from the stigma that's surrounded it for so long, and gen z kids are happy to talk about where they're at with this stuff. They're not walking around with the shame that previous generations carried. It's important to show that people in recovery are your neighbors, your coworkers, and your family members. The more we're open about it, the more normal it becomes to seek help and support. - John Cohan
