Today on Overdose Awareness Day we remember and honor not only those who lost their courageous battles, but encourage those struggling to seek help in their journey to and in sobriety.

No shame.
No judgement.
Just support.

Congrats again to Karen Swindell, Co-founder of the CWS Foundation, for being honored at the State House for her outstanding community service. She continuously offers support to those who are living with and those who have lost a loved one to substance use disorder. Her efforts don't go unnoticed - she is not only a pillar in the community but a true testament that something beautiful can come from tragedy.
