A little about Marcie Buel:
Marcie has navigated through her own lived experience and now holds the belief that the various types of direct help available to anyone struggling with substance abuse or mental health issues can also be applied to the other affected individuals – family, friends, partners. Marcie believes that there are multiple ways to provide assistance to people who might be on the periphery of the affected individual, and those people deserve help just as much. She knows that if the family is supported, it results in greater outcomes in recovery, improved life skills, and an overall brighter possible outcome for both the affected person and the family and friends around them.
The negative effects of active addiction or mental health struggles can radiate out from the individual and affect others in their life. Marcie believes that, fortunately, providing assistance to the family also works the same way, radiating outward and benefitting not just the single individual, but others who we understand can also be affected and sometimes overlooked.
