The holidays can increase substance use, stress, conflict, and overdose risk; that’s the reality.
If you have people in your life who use substances, supporting them with harm reduction in mind can make the difference between tension and safety.
If this season feels heavy or complicated for you or someone you love, that’s real, and you’re not the only one navigating it.
These slides offer grounded reminders and harm-reduction approaches you can lean on as you move through the next few weeks. Take what you need, set the boundaries you can, and remember that support is allowed to look different for everyone.
The final slide includes resources you can reach out to for connection, de-escalation, or crisis support.
Whether you’re supporting someone who is using, in recovery, or somewhere in between. You and your loved one deserve safety, dignity, and care this season. 💛
