@AngelaDavisMPR @MPRnews @hazldnbettyford This is a family disease. We must educate family members about the influence they can have when they have a loved one struggling with this disease. Combining evidence-based approaches rooted in love and compassion work - we need to provide as much support to family members.

Having addiction in my family was part of my story that I was ashamed to talk about for a long time. Didn't know how to, didn't want to, didn't believe it, and the list goes on. All that has changed though, and I'll share my story all day long with anyone…https://t.co/8lJqt9IIM9

Employee appreciation shouldn’t just fall on the shoulders of the employer.

We are constantly encountering “other people’s employees” - and we can make a difference in their day too.
