Communicating openly and honestly about opioid use, addiction, and pain is key to growth. A few steps you can take when communicating with a loved one include:
1. Ask questions without judgment
2. Show interest and concern without blaming or accusing
3. Encourage problem-solving
A strong community makes for healthier citizens. When our communities nurture human connections, we are better able to face social challenges. Visit https://t.co/yJpDlL0dTB to learn more about the different resources provided by the community for you or loved ones.
It's Sunday Funday! Grab a loved one and head outside. There is nothing better for the mind and body than getting outside and breathing in the fresh air. Visit https://t.co/nVRo9JxVga for more information and resources #endoverdose#hawaii#opioidawareness
There are many consequences associated with chronic pain including limitations in activities, lost work productivity, and reduced quality of life. These consequences emphasize the importance of communicating with your provider. For more information visit https://t.co/B0zfDDWE4A.
