In this episode, we follow up on our discussion about parents and their children who have or are struggling with substance use.

Brittany Garner, Program Manager at The Phoenix, joins us to discuss their community programs and how it helps people who chose to live a sober life and support mental, physical and spiritual well being.

The topics we discuss include:

·  Background

·  Why do you suggest to parents, they aren’t responsible for their children’s addictions?

·  Why do you call The Phoenix an AND program?

·  Give us some details about the program itself.

·  You are all over the country to support people.  In these locales, how and where do you meet?

·  Why is it important for those who choose a sober life to have good mental, physical and spiritual well-being?

·  What is peer to peer mean at The Phoenix?

·  The Phoenix isn’t a treatment center or hospital, but has access to resources.  Can you please describe what this is?

·  How can parents best reach you to find out more about The Phoenix?
