We still have this concept that addiction is a moral failing. But you know, I'm always reading books, but reading that, and I love it because it really bridges the gap between the history of trauma and aces scores where we're at Today.
How often do we see young people as assets rather than liabilities? In this episode of The MY House Podcast, host Michelle Overstreet engages in a heartfelt conversation with Kurt and Kyra Hoenack, both case managers at MY House in Wasilla, Alaska. They share their unique perspectives on the intake process for local youth and discuss how viewing young people through a lens of potential can transform lives.
Kurt and Kyra delve into their experiences at MY House, highlighting the importance of emotional support and resilience in helping youth overcome challenges like addiction and homelessness. They also tackle the stigma surrounding addiction, emphasizing that it's not a moral failing but a complex issue requiring compassion and understanding. The duo explains how their team ensures each young person receives the care they need, touching on Maslow's hierarchy of needs to illustrate their approach.
Throughout the episode, you'll hear inspiring stories of youth who have turned their lives around with the help of dedicated case managers. It's a candid and uplifting discussion that underscores the critical role of support systems in fostering growth and success among young people.
