Resources for Families Coping with Mental and Substance Use Disorders

While there is no one-size-fits-all solution for helping a family member who is drinking too much, using drugs, or dealing with a mental illness, research shows that family support can play a major role in helping a loved one with mental and substance use disorders.

Sober Black Girls Club

For Black girls who are considering putting the bottle down… This community is for you. Being a Black woman in a patriarchal, racist society can be overwhelming. It is exhausting. Our traumas run so deep that we often feel stuck as if we will never find solutions to the struggles we face. So we are here for you. It doesn’t matter if you are already living a sober life or just contemplating it. You are wanted, needed, and loved. Our struggles do not define us.
