ALT The holidays can be a difficult time for many people, especially those who struggle with substance use disorders. If you are going to be exposed to possible triggers, there are some tips to help navigate that.
ALT Create a plan. Decide how you will try to avoid or cope with potential triggers. Connect with other sober people in your life- they will know how you are feeling, and can help you to get through it.

Bring your own non-alcoholic beverages, or if you are comfortable ask the host to provide some.

ALT National Homeless Person's Remembrance Day. December 21st, 2024.
ALT National Homeless Person’s Remembrance Day honors those who lost their lives because they did not have access to safe, stable housing. We recognize this day on December 21st, the longest night of the year, and the official first day of winter.
ALT People who live with mental illnesses experience being unhoused at disproportionate rates. According to U.S. News & World Report, 67% of people living without shelter have a mental illness. This is much higher than the percentage of people living with mental illnesses in the U.S. entirely.
ALT The lack of resources for those experiencing mental illness, combined with the stigma that exists can contribute to the large rates of unhoused people living with mental illness. It can be more difficult to get the treatment needed for someone to keep a job, which makes it difficult to afford housing. It's very important to educate yourself and spread awareness and spread resources for people who are unhoused.
