Riverfront Talks: Substance Matters Episode 10
from Riverfront Talks: Substance Matters Hosted by Beaufort County Health Department
Episode 10 continues with special guest Jewell Gardner. Jewell discusses the mental health struggles that she personally faced, and how she realized the need for self-care in order to continue to effectively support her son. She then tells Tiffany about the realization that her youngest son was also beginning to experience mental health challenges, just as her oldest son began to experience a new challenge of substance use. She details the progression of her son’s opioid use disorder, the stage of helplessness and vulnerability that she and her son feel as he continues to still struggle, and the criteria for involuntary commitment (IVC). She concludes with her “WHY” as a parent and clinician, her hopes for her son, and why she feels it’s important for her to tell her son’s story from her perspective.
