We’re in this together.
Public Care Media is a nonprofit editorial studio. We make documentary podcasts and free resources for anyone who loves someone suffering from addiction.
Real stories. Answers we can trust. All of it shared with compassion, and a few loving truths.
The podcast
A limited-run series, intimate and investigative. Five to six episodes. Told by the people who lived it, with a clear look at where institutions failed them.
You’ve got this.
The library
Guides, conversations, essays, and audio, including the best of Love Over Addiction. Always free. Clinically reviewed before we share it.
Lifted.Inspired.Loved.
We want everyone who comes here to feel lifted, not talked down to. Inspired, not overwhelmed. Loved, not judged.
Loving someone suffering from addiction takes a brave, strong person. We're proud of you.
Here we share hope, and information we can trust, so each of us can make our own choices about treatment and care. You have good instincts. Trust them.
We are not a newsroom. We keep our team lean and small.
Every story is fact-checked by someone independent of the person who told it.
A media lawyer reviews each project at the start, and again before release.
An editorial advisor guides us on sensitive content and family questions.
A licensed clinician reviews our library resources before we share them.
