Alcohol Awareness Month – April

April is Alcohol Awareness Month—a time to raise awareness and understanding of alcohol use and misuse. It offers communities a chance to gain more understanding of how individuals struggle with alcohol use and offers resources and support.

The Lisa Michelle Memorial Fund was established for those who have lost a family member to substance abuse, but we wish this was not the case. So we continue to make sure we spread awareness about substance abuse and how those suffering from this disease can get help or how their family members can identify it.

The information below is from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). They have a lot of resources on prevention, treatment, and recovery.
