Why is connection essential to help teens avoid substance abuse?

  • Summary

  • Today's episode is a very candid (and explicit--there are a lot of curse words in this one) conversation with recovering addict Rory Londer about how connection allowed him to come back from drug use that had him living unhoused and stealing to get his next high. He shares his full story in his book, Should've Been Dead, but in today's episode he shares the parts of his story that are most relevant for parents and educators working with young people. Rory speaks about the young people he has connected with and helped since getting clean and coming to speak at schools and ALCs, and why checking yourself for authenticity and expectations can make a massive difference in helping at-risk teens. You can learn more about Rory and his story at shouldvebeendead.com. You can also find him at rorylonderspeaker on Facebook.
