How do we know what to do in situations of this magnitude?
Crisis tends to bring out the best and the worst in people. Right now, we are in the midst of a very challenging situation and we are reminded of our vulnerability as human beings. It made our routines topsy-turvy, disrupted our plans, and isolated us from families and friends. You can choose to be in your worst element now, or you can be doing something positive.
You can choose to be pro-active and help others.
While this pandemic is a danger to us all, a group of people are at higher risk of being immensely affected. Among those in the most vulnerable groups of people are the ones suffering from substance use disorder or SUD. Whether they are in the early stages of recovery or still in the early stages of the disorder, having social support is important to their recovery success.
