In this episode of The ClearlyWell Podcast, host Elizabeth McKeon welcomes Mike Oxley, a subject matter expert in mental health and addiction, to explore the long-standing and complex relationship between the two. Mike brings not only professional insight but also lived experience that fuels his passion for advocacy.
Mike shares how his time spent incarcerated became a pivotal turning point in understanding the deep correlation between untreated mental health conditions and substance use disorders. His personal journey has informed his work, underscoring the need for integrated care, trauma-informed approaches, and stigma reduction in both clinical and community settings.
Furthermore, Mike is the co-host of the Talkin' Trash Addiction Recovery Podcast with Tim Snyder, where the duo dives into real and raw conversations around addiction, recovery, and mental resilience.
