📢 SUDI Door-to-Door Awareness Campaign l Perdmonkie.

On 19 November 2025, the SUDI Kuruman team conducted a successful door-to-door campaign in Perdmonkie, engaging directly with households to raise awareness about Substance Use Disorders (SUDs).

Our aim was to educate the community about:
• The signs and impact of Substance Use Disorders
• Available support services
• How individuals and families can access help at the SUDI Kuruman offices

The campaign allowed us to connect with residents, answer important questions, and provide guidance to those who may be affected or know someone who needs support.

SUDI remains committed to building a healthier, informed, and safer community. 🤝💙

For assistance or more information, visit our Kuruman offices.

The SUDI team recently facilitated a powerful session on Substance Use Awareness at Full Gospel Bethel Assembly Church! 🙏

We were honoured to present a comprehensive overview of substance use in South Africa, with a specific focus on the JTG District. Our session covered critical topics, including:
- Prevalence of substances in JTG: We highlighted the most commonly used substances in the district and their impact on communities.
- Addiction and the brain: We explained how substances affect the brain's reward system, leading to dependency.
- Physical and mental effects: We discussed the serious toll of substance use on health and mental wellbeing.
- Substance use in schools: We addressed the specific risks and challenges faced by learners in JTG.
- SUD and families: We explored how substance use disorders affect family dynamics and relationships.
- Absent fathers and SUD: We examined the link between family structures and vulnerability to substance use.
- Spiritual wellbeing and SUD: We discussed the role of spiritual health in coping with and preventing substance use.
- Why people use: We unpacked the underlying reasons and pressures that lead people to turn to substances.
- Coping mechanisms: Using the 'people, places, and things' framework, we provided practical strategies for managing triggers and building resilience.

What made the session even more impactful with testimonial videos from individuals in recovery — bravely sharing their journeys with the support of SUDI. Their stories of hope and resilience reminded us that recovery is possible, and community matters. ❤️

A huge thank you to Full Gospel Bethel Assembly Church for hosting us, and to everyone who participated — your engagement and questions made the session worth sharing!

🌿 Education Wednesday | How to Identify When Someone May Be Using Drugs

It’s not always easy to tell when a loved one is struggling — but knowing the signs can help you offer support early. 💚

💭 If you notice a few of these signs, it doesn’t always mean someone is using drugs — but it may be time to have an open, caring conversation and seek guidance.

💚 Together, we can build a community that notices, cares, and supports recovery.
