Lennon Recovery House marks April as Alcohol Awareness Month by launching toolkit resource

Lennon Recovery House marks April as Alcohol Awareness Month by Launching Voices of Support: A Toolkit for Reducing Alcohol Related Harms for Families & Caregivers. This is a valuable resource for families and caregivers aiming to address the challenges of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) with knowledge, compassion, and practical resources. Specifically designed for adults who are supporting people in recovery from alcohol addiction, it provides essential information, actionable strategies, and reflective activities to empower both caregivers and families. While this toolkit focuses on alcohol use, some information and strategies may also apply to other addictions and addictive behaviors. Alcohol is often considered a gateway substance, meaning its misuse can increase the risk of experimenting with or developing dependence on other drugs or behaviours. By understanding the principles of stigma reduction, empathetic communication, and boundary setting, families and caregivers can use these tools to support loved ones facing a range of substance-related challenges. Visit lennonhouse.ca for a free copy.
