CELEBRATION INCOMING! It's time to talk about 🥳 💃 Dr. Jude Shupe, DSW, LCSW 🌊 💚 -- another of the 10 DSW candidates who successfully defended their APP manuscripts this Fall. Dr. Shupe's research is entitled: "Exploring the fear of recovery among individuals with a substance abuse disorder: A novel descriptive study." The primary focus of this study is how fear often plays a central role in addiction, driving individuals to seek solace or escape through substance abuse. Recovery can be a daunting journey filled with barriers and challenges, and fear often plays a significant role in this process. Overcoming fear is crucial for achieving long-term sobriety and finding freedom from addiction. Although fear of recovery may be a significant barrier to sobriety for individuals with substance abuse disorders, this phenomenon is not well understood. Using social cognitive theory to underpin this research, the purpose of this study was to explore participants’ perceptions of fear of recovery as related to their sobriety. "As for my future," Dr. Shupe says, "I would like to collaborate with other researchers in the field of substance abuse to explore this important topic and help further and improve treatment options and outcomes. I'd also like to enter academia. I'm a lifelong learner and believe that teaching is also an opportunity for learning. I would love to be a part of the next generation of social workers." Well, Dr. Shupe, you already are! We can't wait to see where your #DSW takes you. #TSSW #TulaneSocialWork #SubstanceAbuseDisorder #AddictionRecovery #FearInRecovery

2moI am so excited already that l hopefully will be accepted to Tulane for the Spring 2025 semester! After being wishy-washy about graduate schools and knowing Tulane was the one for Social Work school I'm bound to complete my application with thorough completion. I bounced around three other schools over several years now and here I'm following my mother's footsteps.
