Homelessness, addiction & the power of connection (with Kevin F. Adler)

Ever wondered about the stories behind the people you pass on the street experiencing homelessness? The reality can hit close to home, especially when a loved one is grappling with addiction, mental health struggles, or the risk of losing housing.

In this episode, we speak with Kevin Adler, author of When We Walk By and founder of Miracle Messages. Kevin reveals the powerful, often hidden narratives of those facing homelessness and highlights how the strength of relationships and reconnection can pave the way to recovery and stable housing.

This episode may help you:

• Understand how using person-first language can shift perspectives and reduce the stigma around addiction.

• Recognize the barriers—societal, health, and systemic—that make finding housing so tough.

• Find ways to strengthen and sustain healthy connections with loved ones facing these challenges.

• See the impact of timely support and genuine connection in helping someone move toward recovery and stable housing.
