Innovations and stigmas in addiction support

Join us for an eye-opening conversation with River Paton from Pivot by Explore, a holistic alcohol, drug, and wellbeing service. We explore Pivot's unique approach to helping individuals grappling with substance use, addressing the difference between heavy drinking and addiction, and how self-referrals can initiate the journey towards recovery. River's insights underscore the importance of trained professionals and wellbeing coaches with lived experience, whose authenticity helps build stronger connections with their clients. We discuss societal pressures surrounding alcohol consumption, particularly as the holiday season approaches. Our conversation encompasses the accessibility and social acceptance of alcohol, the resulting holiday pressures, and the limited availability of support services during this period. Let's normalise talking about our addictions and how to get help for them. These are conversations that could well save lives. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
