Sarah Drage: WarriorKind
Season 3, Episode 21, Aug 30, 2021, 07:00 AM
In this episode we chat with the incredible Sarah Drage, who gave us her deeply personal and heartbreaking insight into losing her father to alcohol use disorder.
We're Sharon, Freddie and Ben, three normal people who decided to give up alcohol to see how our lives would change. We're not medical experts but we are expert ex-drinkers, and our podcast brings people together who are on their own alcohol-free journeys by celebrating just how wonderful life without booze can be!
Following the passing of her father, Sarah is working to break down the stigma attached to alcohol use disorder #foramancalledsteve.
Sarah is the Co-founder of Warriorkind, a mental health service who are normalising conversations around mental health and wellbeing. Sarah recently shared her father's story with TEDx Talks, speaking about breaking down the societal stigmas surrounding alcohol use disorder and mental health more broadly.
