Description

Families navigating the turmoil of addiction and trauma often feel lost, isolated, and overwhelmed. This podcast is your guide to hope, healing, and practical solutions. Hosted by Michael F. Barnes, Ph.D, LAC, LPC, of The Michael Barnes Family Institute and Barnes Education and Consulting, LLC.

Dr. Barnes and his guests will bring together clinical expertise, lived experience, and compassionate conversations to support families affected by addiction and associated traumatic stress.

Grounded in a chronic disease model of care, we will explore the connections between addiction, mental health, and family systems - offering insights for both loved ones and the professionals who serve them.

Whether they're a family member seeking guidance or a clinican looking to enhance your approach, you'll find education, encouragement, and strategies for lasting resilience here.

Join us as we uncover the pathways to recovery, challenge stigman, and empower families to reclaim their strength.
