We recently held a webinar on experiencing and coping with grief during COVID-19 and the holidays. The webinar was excellent and we learned so much from it that we thought we would share our takeaways and how this topic ties in to substance abuse. 

Ashleigh, Katie, and Sandi cover questions from listeners. Join us as we discuss how to support teens in recovery, how to help parents who are in denial, and how to help when substance abuse affects more than one member of the family.
