Guest: Shelley Matthews, admissions coordinator
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 guest today is Shelley Matthews who serves as one of Foundations’ admissions coordinators. Ultimately, all the work that every member of the marketing department does eventually leads to that one moment when someone picks up the phone and calls for help. That’s a daunting, vulnerable place to be, and the way that phone conversation unfolds can end up changing the caller’s entire life trajectory. So, how can the admissions coordinators charged with answering that call stay prepared to dive into the details of the often complex admissions process all while keeping the focus on the ultimate goal: caring for people? Shelley is kind enough to join us today to talk us through the realities of what it looks like to be a guide for someone as they make these life-altering decisions.
If you’d like to talk with an admissions coordinator about the treatment options at Foundations programs, please call anytime at 855-823-2141 or email admissions@frnmail.com.

Stigma still prevents honest, open conversations about mental health and addiction issues, both in the community and in the legislative chamber. So, advocates from across Tennessee are gathering at Nashville's Capitol Hill to send a message – message they hope will inspire the state’s leaders to finally make mental and behavioral health a priority.
In this special edition of Recovery Unscripted, we bring you a field report from Behavioral Health Day on the Hill.

It can be a great feeling when everyone in an organization works together to build a website that connects you with the people out there that you want to serve. You put together all the right content, create right design and finally press that button to share your website with the world. But who’s looking out for your website behind the scenes to keep it running smoothly for the months and years after it launches? Well, if you’re lucky, it might be someone like Matt King, who’s kind enough to take a few minutes to explain exactly what it takes to administrate the web.

Guest: Kathy Frossard, vice president of marketing
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 guest today is Kathy Frossard who serves as Foundations’ VP of marketing and business development. If you’re listening to this podcast, chances are you probably already know all about how the behavioral health field is changing. There are new pieces of legislation and regulations, there are changes to insurance coverage and reimbursement policies, there’s the ever-changing challenge of the opioid epidemic…and organizations in this field are being forced to rethink the way they’ve always done things and be smarter about how they plan for the future. So in the midst of all that, Kathy is kind enough to join us to talk about how she brings together Foundations’ marketing and business development endeavors to help the organization stay at the forefront of bringing treatment to people who need it.
If you’d like to hear Kathy dive into these topics even further, you can come to her presentation at the Innovations in Recovery conference happening April 16-19th in San Diego, California. For more info and to register, visit http://frn.swoogo.com/iir2019

Guest: Clayton Martin, content strategy manager
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 guest today is Clayton Martin, who serves as content strategy manager with the Foundations marketing team. If you and your organization are providing excellent patient care or developing new therapies or conducting ground breaking research, but no one knows about what you’re doing, then that could be holding you back from making an even larger impact for the greater good. That’s where content comes in. But how do you know how to explain what you do in a way that breaks down complex healthcare issues for the general public and helps build trust? Clayton joins us to discuss.

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.

And even though they have several locations now, it all started out as just a single house where Brandon and two friends from Ohio lived after they moved to California to start fresh and figure out how to do recovery. They sat down with me at the Innovations in Recovery conference in San Diego to share how they’ve used what they’ve learned on their own journeys to build a culture of brotherhood and accountability that challenges residents to lead by example and how they’re growing and adapting to reach female clients with these same principles.

Guests: Justin Lanning and Angie Alexander, 180 Health Partners
My guests today are 180 Health Partners’ Justin Lanning and Angie Alexander who serve a critical need: helping pregnant women with addiction by filling the gaps in a healthcare system that’s often not built for meeting their needs on a practical level. But to do this well, 180 builds a health system around each mother by asking for their personal goals and literally meeting them where they are: at their doctor, at their home, even just connecting via text or for 10 minutes at their work during lunch break. And as you’ll hear them explain, reaching mothers-to-be presents a unique opportunity to make a huge impact in two lives in a short window of time, specifically related to neonatal abstinence syndrome and the lasting effect that can have on the life of a child.
