Recovery Unscripted

Guest: Vanina Hochman, community relations representative

We all know that mental health treatment can’t be one size fits all. So how can providers be better equipped to reach the huge groups of people in need who have vastly different cultural backgrounds than their own? We’ll tackle this with Vanina Hochman on this episode of Recovery Unscripted.

Guest: Jacy Bruck, Foundations Events

Welcome to a bonus episode of Recovery Unscripted, where we sit down with some of the people who make up Foundations Recovery Network and explore the different ways that they’re working to create lifetime relationships for long-term recovery.

My first guest is Jacy Bruck, who serves as event sales coordinator with the Foundations Events team. Together, they put on some of the behavioral healthcare field’s premier conferences to bring people together and elevate the industry. Their next conference, Moments of Change, is coming up October 1-4 at The Breakers in Palm Beach Florida and Jacy is kind enough to lend us a few minutes of her time to talk about why Foundations hosts these events.

Guest: Robyn Cruze, eating disorder recovery advocate

Today I’m joined by Robyn Cruze, who serves as national recovery advocate for Eating Recovery Center. Her early career as an actress brought her from her native Australia to Los Angeles, all while she became more and more sick with her eating disorder. But as she began her own recovery journey, she formulated the ideas behind “the body conversation,” which shifts the focus off of dieting and emphasizes listening to your body’s signals. She sat down with me at the Innovations in Recovery conference in San Diego to discuss the overlap between eating disorders and addiction and to share how to spot red flags of disordered eating even as our culture’s unhealthy messages about body image make it harder than ever.
