Montare Media presents this week’s episode of the Discover U Podcast: Interventions for Mental Health—An Inside View of Getting Resistant Patients into Treatment.

From Vicki Lucas. My work is my passion. I have been in recovery for 25 years and have struggled with mental health & addiction myself. I also have a son who has struggled with addiction and mental health. I do this work because people shouldn’t have to suffer from mental health and addiction. Everyone deserves the opportunity to have a happy life. I believe together we can successfully help your loved one. My number one goal in an intervention is to help people get the help they need, even if it’s a simple as harm reduction. I am here to support the family in healing with boundaries.
