Pat Roos discussed her son's struggles with addiction and mental health, and how her experiences led her to write the book, 'Surviving Alex,' highlighting the importance of alternative solutions to the issue.
I think it's so important to recognize that our conventional approaches are really wrong.
And I think Christina and I believe so deeply to our soul that this is not the correct way to think about it.
So I think it's really, really important to take into account those systemic factors that affect the decisions that we made that we make on a daily basis.
And definitely when you have the book, take a look at that resources section, because I think that's the thing I spent a long time making sure that that was available.
I want my book to be something that that that I don't want to really lambast all of these programs, I want to say we can all do better and that's what I would love it if my book could help psychiatric hospitals and treatment programs and do better and moms and dads and family members to know that they're not alone.
