April is acohol awareness month. The National Institute of Health (NIH) is a great resource for information about substance use disorders. I encourage all of you to take a look at their web site: niaaa.nih.gov. Most of the information is free and downloadable. 

 

      This has been a rough winter. The workloads have all increased, there are pressures on you and all of our co-workers. Some are handling the pressure and stress well, some are not doing as well. Thank goodness you all are there – to help when the pressures and stresses become too much. Even a kind word can make a difference under those circumstances. Simply listening to someone has a big impact. 

 

       Thank you for being there – for helping others. It is important work.
