{"author_name":"Philippa Perry's Families in Crisis","author_url":"https://art19.com/shows/philippa-perry-s-families-in-crisis","description":" What happens to the rest of the family when someone has an addiction or mental health crisis?  Families who support and care for someone they love during a challenging time are at the heart of this podcast series. These people’s stories often go unheard. People who look after a close relative who is an addict or experiences long-term mental illness tell us their stories.  The emotional fallout for these families can be devastating, time-consuming, financially-draining and long-term. For some, it’s also a taboo subject within their community and carries with it a terrible social stigma.  A Just Radio production for Audible Originals.   A note from Philippa:    \"If you have been affected by any of the stories you've been listening to on my podcasts then here are some NGOs, charities and other organisations, which I hope will help you and your family. Some of them are international, with links and branches all over the world, others are based mainly in the UK where this series was recorded. Please search online for further resources where you are in the world.    All the people who agreed to talk to me for this series did so because they wanted to offer hope to others in similar situations and a way forward; they wanted to break down the walls of silence, shame and loneliness that carers all over the world face looking after members of their family facing addiction and mental health crises.    If you are a carer then I hope you will find help and a degree of comfort in listening to others recounting their own stories and personal difficulties, and realise that you are not alone.\"   - Philippa Perry     Adfam – improving lives for families affected by drugs and alcohol: adfam.org.uk/  Al Anon – help and support for family and friends of alcoholics: al-anon.org/  Beat – giving advice and support to families coping with Anorexia: beateatingdisorders.org.uk/  Bipolar UK – t","html":"<iframe src=\"https://art19.com/shows/philippa-perry-s-families-in-crisis/embed\" style=\"width: 720px; height: 505px; border: 0 none;\" width=\"720\" height=\"505\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"></iframe>","provider_name":"ART19","provider_url":"https://art19.com","title":"Philippa Perry's Families in Crisis","type":"rich","version":"1.0","width":720,"height":505}
