Featuring Chris Bungay, president of Sober Kids Canada, and hosted by Marsha Vanwynsberghe, best-selling author of “When She Stopped Asking Why”
A talk about how Sober Kids Canada is helping educate parents who want to prevent their teens from using alcohol and drugs.
In this episode we are speaking with the president of Sober Kids Canada, Chris Bungay. Chris was a lawyer for 20 years, through the first half of his career (and first half of his life since age 12. Chris had a substance use disorder, mainly relating to alcohol use. He comes from a community and to some extent a family with a history of addiction. He sold his law practice 3 years ago and wanted to give back to the community, so with the help of his wife, they started a charity known as Sober Kids Canada. This is a non-profit dedicated to educating families about youth substance abuse, and providing tools, speakers and courses to help parents who want to prevent their teens from using alcohol and drugs, but also to assist parents who have teens who are experiencing problems with using alcohol/drugs.
In this episode we discuss teen cannabis use in Canada and share some very relevant stats about addiction, teen substance abuse and how we can support families trapped in this cycle.
