When you start understanding more and you start learning more about a topic, and a topic as overwhelming at times as as addiction and recovery is.
Imagine discovering that addiction is not just a distant issue but a reality affecting people all around you. This is what happened to Michael Kaucher, the Executive Director of the Berks Conference of Churches, when he joined the Board of the Council on Chemical Abuse (COCA). In this heartfelt episode, Michael sits down with his daughter Jennifer to share his eye-opening journey into the world of addiction and recovery.
Michael speaks candidly about how addiction touches every corner of society, including the faith community. With connections to over 450 churches in Berks County, he sees a powerful opportunity to spread awareness and education about addiction. He believes that the church can play a crucial role in supporting those struggling with addiction and their families. One of the key topics Michael discusses is naloxone training, a vital tool in saving lives during opioid overdoses.
He highlights the importance of community involvement and education in combating the opioid and heroin crisis. Michael's message is clear: understanding addiction leads to compassion, and through compassion, we can make a difference. This episode is not just about statistics and strategies; it's about real stories and genuine hope. Whether you're part of a faith community or simply looking to understand more about addiction, Michael's insights offer valuable perspectives on how we can all contribute to recovery efforts.
Tune in to hear how one man's journey has inspired a mission to educate and support a community in need.
