Hope is stronger when we face challenges together. The newest data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) shows that people with mental health conditions often experience higher rates of substance use, a mix that can increase suicide risk. 💙

The NSDUH 2024 shows hope: teen past-year SUD dropped 1.4% since 2021. Still, 7.8% of teens live with SUD and need access to evidence-based care. Progress matters, but it’s not time to slow down. 💭

Recovery doesn’t have a single definition, it is shaped by our stories, struggles, and strengths. SAMHSA describes it as “a process of change” that supports health and a meaningful life.

In light of this, lets honor the many ways people define and live their recovery. 💜

Our pups are more than pets, they’re family. 🐾

Because dogs explore the world nose-first, their curiosity can sometimes put them at risk, which is why it’s important to know naloxone isn’t just for people.
