Broken Open: the podcast

Clare Keast is the courageous mother of five beautiful children.   Clare shares her journey as a mom supporting her kids with mental health and addictions, and in particular her experience with her son Kevin, who died of an accidental overdose at the age of 36 years.  Kevin was a successful social worker who battled addiction for years without most of his friends and family even being aware of his struggle.   I hope you find something helpful in Clare's story.
