Wishing you a merry, safe, and healthy Christmas! 🎄❤️

From the Will County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition, we hope your holiday is filled with joy, connection, and responsible celebration.

12/22/2025

The holidays can be especially difficult for anyone experiencing grief. Memories, traditions, and expectations can make this season feel heavy rather than joyful. Grief looks and feels different for everyone, and it can stay with us for a long time. There is no right or wrong way to feel.

Support is an important part of healing. There are various grief resources in our community, including Lightways Joliet (https://lightways.org/grief-support/) that offer services for children, adults, and families. Reaching out for help can make this season feel less isolating and more manageable.

12/19/2025

Wishing you a safe, happy, and healthy holiday season!

From all of us at the Will County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition, please celebrate responsibly and take care of yourself and one another. 💙
