Episode #2: Mental Health with Monica: Alcohol Use Disorder

In today's episode, we're talking about Alcohol Use Disorder—a topic that affects individuals, families, and communities. Rather than approaching this conversation with assumptions or judgment, we're asking questions, exploring the realities, and learning from both professional expertise and lived human experience. I'm joined by Grace VanAnkum, a counsellor with Grace Counselling, who brings a thoughtful and compassionate perspective to understanding Alcohol Use Disorder. Together, we'll discuss what it is, how it develops, common misconceptions, the impact it can have on people's lives, and the pathways to support and recovery. Whether you're seeking to better understand this topic for yourself, someone you care about, or simply to expand your knowledge, we hope this conversation offers insight, empathy, and practical information.
