Melissa Brown works in behavioral health leadership and has firsthand experience with a major issue most families don’t even know exists:

In Virginia, “barrier crimes” can prevent someone with a criminal record from working in direct care roles inside behavioral health and addiction treatment — even when that person is stable in recovery and qualified to serve.

And here’s the reality: Some of the most effective people helping addicted individuals today are people who’ve lived it. Recovery often comes with a checkered past — but these laws can permanently block people from the very work that helps others heal.

In this episode we talk about:

• What Virginia “barrier crimes” are

• Why these restrictions limit the treatment workforce

• How this system can unintentionally hurt recovery outcomes

• Second chances vs. public safety

• What families, providers, and policymakers should be thinking about
