In this episode, we interview Elizabeth Fikes, Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center's Found and Director of Outreach & Communications.  They are based in Oxford, MS and serve adolescent boys experiencing substance use issues while also supporting their families.

We engage on the following topics:

·  Background

·  What makes a program like yours that focuses on substance abuse first unique?

·  Tell me about your Private School and why you wanted to incorporate it as an offering?

·  Why do children’s substance use and associated mental health issues continue to grow in our society?

·  What can parents do to best stay in front of their children before they get into substance use?

·  When children are battling substances and are at your program, how do parents stay engaged?

·  What is it about the CS Lewis quote I’m about to read that resonated with you?  “Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.”

·  How can parents best reach you to find out more about Stonewater?
