I know that he needs help and that someone has to advocate for policy and legal changes like those that require insurance companies to cover his addiction treatment just as willingly as they would cover his cancer treatment.
Imagine being a parent grappling with the harsh reality of your child's addiction. In this episode of 'A Dose of Hope', Ginny Mills takes us on an emotional journey through the maze of advocacy for addiction. As more families face the devastating impact of substance use, advocacy groups are stepping up, and individuals are shedding their anonymity to challenge societal attitudes towards addiction.
Ginny opens up about the difficult process of admitting his son's addiction, a confession that dredges up long-buried questions and fears. Yet, despite these hurdles, he underscores the vital role of advocacy in changing policies and perceptions. Through candid storytelling, Ginny reveals that advocacy, much like recovery, begins with small, courageous steps. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that speaking out can ignite change and offer hope to those battling addiction.
Tune in to hear how one father's commitment to advocacy is making a difference, and perhaps find the courage to take your own first step.
