About Thanks For The Ride

Through this project, Baranova aims to shed light on the complexities of addiction and provide actionable insights into supporting individuals struggling with addictive behaviors and their concerned loved ones. With a focus on community support and empowerment, the project's mission is to encourage dialogue and foster understanding surrounding addiction issues through music and power of stories.

"As a Clinical Hypnotherapy Practitioner and experienced Smart Recovery Group facilitator, I am deeply committed to providing holistic support to families and friends of addicted loved ones," Baranova said. "'Thanks For The Ride' represents an exciting opportunity to explore the intersection of music, arts, and self-help in addressing addiction challenges."

Another part of the project is Maya's artwork, which is a game plan with illustrations. The game illustrates the challenges of making a change and navigating the ups and downs of the recovery process. Like recovery, progress is not always straightforward; setbacks (red dialogues) are part of the journey, while healing strategies (green dialogues) require active participation to be effective.

Maya has created an essential tool for the group seminars she will offer to communities and rehab centers.
