Addiction is a serious issue and we take it seriously. We're going to be looking at some situations where the system- the community service system, social service system- let some people down, ended up with a daughter and who they believe was killed by their father.
Ever felt let down by a system that's supposed to help? In this episode of 'Road to Recovery', Yonah Budd, with his 40 years of experience in addiction and mental health, takes a hard look at Ontario's social services. Yonah pulls no punches as he examines how the system often fails those most in need of care. He brings in Dr.
Jennifer Kagan-Viater, a palliative care doctor, and Philip Viater, a lawyer, to discuss the heart-wrenching death of their four-year-old daughter. Their story is a stark reminder of the consequences of systemic failures. Yonah also speaks with Irwin Elman, the former Provincial Advocate for Children and Youth, to explore what can be done to mend these cracks in the system. Throughout the episode, Yonah stresses the importance of advocacy and support for marginalized communities who face significant barriers to justice.
He highlights the struggles of those with limited English or education and underscores the need for accessible resources for all. This episode isn't just informative; it's a call to action. It’s about understanding the real-life impacts of a broken system and finding ways to fix it. Tune in to hear raw, compassionate discussions that shed light on these critical issues.
