Cindy Blom is a recovery and addiction coach helping families walk through care plans with their children and loved ones experiencing addiction. She’s passionate about stopping the stigma around addiction and mental illness and openly shares their families story of losing their son Erik after a long battle with addiction, trauma, and mental illness.

We discuss how to support family members struggling with addiction, some places to look to get help that is outside of the “normal recovery routes,” how vulnerability and openness has brought a strong community around them, and how our system needs to change in the support of people with mental illness.

We discuss the work of Dr. Stephen Loyd https://www.drstephenloyd.com, how their shop gives back to families walking the recovery path and the importance of photography to their family. Cindy also shares what grief has looked like for them in the 8 years since Erik passed.

If you’re struggling with mental health or addiction, Cindy says reach out to her and Dan and she can point you in some healing directions www.guitarsthatcare.com
