We need to work towards breaking down the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health. It's treating people as less than because they're going through certain problems.
Brian Valasek isn't just a counselor; he's a lifeline for those grappling with addiction and mental health challenges. As the Clinical Director at Restoring Hope Counseling and Coaching in Cincinnati, Ohio, Brian brings a wealth of experience and an unwavering passion for helping others. In this episode of 'Stigmatized', hosted by Trevor Steinhauser, Brian dives into his work on the frontlines of addiction recovery and mental health advocacy.
Brian shares his expertise in relapse prevention, emphasizing the critical need to treat people as individuals rather than labels. He passionately discusses the importance of community support and the development of coping skills to tackle anxiety and depression. But it’s not all smooth sailing; Brian also highlights significant barriers like insurance limitations that often prevent people from getting the care they need.
One of the most compelling parts of the conversation is Brian's call for more substance use education in graduate schools. He believes that better-educated professionals can make a world of difference in the lives of those struggling with addiction. Throughout the episode, Brian's message is clear: hope and restoration are possible, but it requires breaking down the stigma that surrounds mental health and addiction.
For anyone touched by these issues—whether personally or through a loved one—this episode offers invaluable insights and a sense of community. Brian's dedication to lifting up those who have been marginalized by society is both inspiring and deeply moving. Tune in to hear how one man is making a significant impact, one person at a time.
