THE GREATEST GIFT IS A CONVERSATION: HOW TO SUPPORT AND COMMUNICATE WITH LOVED ONES ABOUT SUBSTANCE MISUSE

Substance misuse can affect anyone. No matter the relationship, open and caring communication can make a meaningful difference. Research shows that strong, supportive relationships with loved ones are among the most powerful protective factors against substance misuse. When individuals feel listened to, respected, and understood, they are more likely to seek help and less likely to engage in risky behaviors. Open, compassionate conversations can make all the difference in guiding someone toward healing, safety, and hope.
