Family Matters: Selena Stockley on Honest Conversations for Recovery

A lot of my family members still don't quite understand the disease, the addiction and how it affects. I think now is the time to kind of really have those conversations, and we're seeing a lot of that, because it affects everybody.
What role do family dynamics play in addiction and mental health? In this episode of Beyond Theory, Selena Stockley, Executive Director of Serenity View, shares her personal journey as an adult child of an alcoholic and how it has shaped her career in addiction treatment. Sitting down with host David Condos, Selena emphasizes the crucial need for open, honest conversations within families to foster recovery and understanding.
She also discusses the broader impact of family relationships on mental health and addiction, offering practical advice for those looking to support loved ones. Additionally, Dr. Kevin McCauley, a senior fellow at The Meadows, joins the discussion to highlight the importance of integrating mental health care into addiction treatment. This episode offers a compassionate and insightful look into the power of family involvement in the recovery process.
