À propos de cet audio
In this heartfelt episode, Michele Fecht, LPC, opens up about her deeply personal journey growing up alongside her “Irish Twin” brother, who faced multiple co-occurring challenges including Apraxia, Autism, PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, and Anxiety. Michele shares how his experiences navigating school systems, addiction, and recovery profoundly influenced her path as a mental health professional.
She discusses how families and caregivers can find the support they need, the increased risk of substance use among individuals with autism and mental health diagnoses, and what resources are available for young people. Michele also speaks directly to how others—friends, extended family, and community members—can better support caregivers and families of those living with substance abuse or mental health challenges.
Her story is a moving tribute to her brother, who passed away suddenly from a heart attack, and a powerful message for anyone who has loved someone living with complex mental health needs. This episode is a must-listen for those seeking connection, understanding, and hope.
