Caitlin offers moving insight into her brother Matthew’s mission to help people recover, and how his legacy continues through advocacy, education and lived-experience leadership.This episode is a testament to the universal nature of recovery and to the power of collaboration across borders, communities and personal histories.In this episode:A cross-Atlantic conversation on recovery and stigmaThe legacy of Matthew Perry and the mission of the Matthew Perry FoundationMatt Butler’s journey from frontline work to podcast hostHow storytelling challenges shame and transforms public understandingWhy lived experience is vital in reducing stigmaThe emotional realities of advocacy, grief and purposeReframing recovery as service, connection and compassionSearch terms: Matthew Perry Foundation, addiction recovery podcast UK, lived experience stories, stigma and recovery, storytelling and mental health, Amy Goldberg podcast, Caitlin Morrison interview.Learn more about the hosts and their work:Believe in People America by Amy Goldberg: Push Back Productions | InstagramCaitlin Morrison and the Matthew Perry Foundation: Click here to text our host, Matt, directly!🎧 Enjoyed this episode?
