When we talk about substance use and community wellness, conversations around alcohol use are critical. Local data shows why expanding accessible support right now is more important than ever.

Recently, WXII 12 News looked into the impact of alcohol-related losses in Forsyth County. GreenTree’s Refuge Coordinator, Shannon Rudisill, spoke on the power of community, visibility, and accessible, judgment-free resources.

We know that substance use challenges are deeply connected to a person's life experiences, environments, and struggles. That’s why we focus on collaboration and connection, rather than expectations. If you are navigating challenges with alcohol or any substance use, please know that the GreenTree is a safe space to land.
