Breaking Stigmas: Brittany Jackson on Helping Families Navigate Addiction

I think, for family members, one of the big things that I always always say is that I know it's, I know it's hard, I know it's difficult to go through what you're going through, but know that you do have the ability to help, that you can make change and change does happen, and that you can motivate a person who has an addiction to change and to get help that they seek with the right family trainings and the right support.
Imagine living with a partner who is battling an alcohol use disorder. Brittany Jackson knows this reality all too well and has turned her experience into a mission to support families facing similar challenges. In this episode of 'Recovery Revolution Live', Brittany, a Family Recovery Coach, joins the hosts to share her journey and the innovative approaches she employs to help families support their loved ones struggling with addiction.
Brittany introduces us to 'Invitation to Change', a family support program grounded in science and evidence-based research. Unlike traditional programs, it avoids labeling family members as codependent or enablers, which often carries a heavy stigma. Instead, it focuses on new communication strategies and tools that empower families to be part of the recovery process. Throughout the conversation, Brittany emphasizes the importance of education and understanding.
She discusses how staying open to learning and having honest conversations can make a significant difference. The episode also explores the potential for relapse and the critical role of ongoing support. Brittany's insights shed light on how families can motivate their loved ones to seek help and maintain their recovery journey. With compassion and practical advice, this episode is a treasure trove of strategies for anyone looking to support a family member through addiction.
Tune in for an enlightening discussion that breaks down stigmas and offers hope for recovery.
