Here Come the Holidays: What Do You Do?
What are your holiday memories? How does your family celebrate? Join us to explore the variety of traditions and associated rituals that have special meaning for our families and communities. However, the plans often include the use of alcoholic beverages and/or other drugs and for many, this is not a healthy or meaningful time. This is especially true as many families and communities have experienced an increase in substance use disorder and violence over the last year. Explore ways to help the family build healthy memories all year long.
