In today’s episode, Margaret Swift Thompson of Embrace Family Recovery dives into one of the toughest but most vital topics—how to support and protect children in families affected by addiction. Margaret shares heartfelt insight on setting healthy boundaries, empowering children to speak up when they feel unsafe, and helping them understand that addiction is a disease—not their fault.
From practical tools like Sesame Street resources to the impactful work of the Betty Ford Children’s Program, Margaret offers guidance for parents, caregivers, and allies looking to foster safety, trust, and healing. Drawing from her own personal journey, she reminds us that recovery is possible—and that hope begins with honest conversations and strong role models.
Tune in to learn how to become a safe harbor for the children in your life and how to lead with compassion, clarity, and connection.
