We really appreciate having just the platform to talk a little bit about addiction because like Asiba said, it's not that spoken and it should be.
Ever wondered how a university can play a pivotal role in addiction recovery? This episode of the RAAD Podcast dives into Western University's Recovery Addiction Awareness Day (RAAD), an initiative dedicated to breaking the stigma around addiction, educating the community, and providing crucial resources. Hosted by Erica Pin, this joint episode with Western's Peer Support podcast features Asiba and Probline, who passionately discuss the mission of RAAD.
They explore the significance of research through focus groups, the impact of their podcast in sharing diverse perspectives, and the importance of events like RAAD in raising awareness and offering support. You'll hear about the pressing need for addiction-specific support services on campus, highlighted through the lens of the Psychology 4873E course and the upcoming RAAD event on March 13th, 2024.
The conversation underscores the importance of destigmatizing addiction and advocating for more resources to support students struggling with substance use disorders. Asiba and Probline call on students to get involved, educate themselves, and attend the RAAD event to learn more about available resources and show their support for this vital cause. Whether you're a student, a family member, or someone interested in addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and a heartfelt appeal for community involvement.
Tune in to understand how collective efforts at Western University are making a difference in the lives of those affected by addiction.
