We presented on caring for self and others around addiction disorders today at the Lancaster-Lebanon IU13's staff wellness day. We so appreciate the invite!
We appreciate the nod from LNP + LancasterOnline, and the attention this study is drawing. When we take calls from the public for help, the opioid-related calls are often from young people, looking for treatment or recovery supports, afraid of overdosing and dying. Alcohol-related calls are often from people a generation or two older. In those decades, the health of the person with alcohol-use disorder gradually worsens, and so does the physical and mental health of their loved ones. The tragedy is just as great. The family system is just as despairing.
You can do your part by easing the societal pressure to drink. Skip the alcohol-related social media posts. Respect people who aren't drinking at dinner or events. Promote alcohol-free networking on the job. It will make a difference!
