MAWB Lunch & Learn:  Addiction: Beyond the Stereotypes

We’re honoured to welcome Caroline Barrett of soberme.ca as our featured speaker for the May MAWB Lunch & Learn session!

Topic – Addiction: Beyond the Stereotypes

Caroline is a certified recovery coach and passionate mental health advocate who uses both her professional expertise and lived experience to support others navigating addiction and recovery. 

In this powerful session, she’ll be shining a light on the realities of substance use — far beyond the stereotypes. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of: 

• The complexity of addiction
• Its impact on individuals, families, and communities
• Pathways to recovery
• How we can reduce stigma and foster empathy

This conversation is for everyone — whether you’ve been impacted personally, professionally, or just want to become a more compassionate ally. 

Date/Time: Tuesday, May 13th from 12:00 – 1:00 PM

About our Facilitator

Caroline is a trained and certified Recovery Coach, helping individuals with substance abuse and addiction.

She has over 20 years of experience working one-on-one with addiction and substance abuse. Her goal is to help teach, guide, and work with her clients to achieve a successful life of sobriety.

Caroline gravitated to this role from her own experiences with helping others achieve sobriety for years, and she truly believes that this is what she is meant to do.

She understands what it is like to watch a loved one suffer severely from addiction, and what it is like to lose a loved one from addiction. Caroline also knows what it is like to sober up from her own experience with addiction – how hard it is, what it takes to get there, and what life can be like once you do!
