❤️ Buddies Helping Buddies. Sounds like an excellent match for any Opioid Epidemic funds that could be coming in. A problem that can only be solved by a community.

Community support, community involvement and even mentoring in the form of workshops could be looked into.

Counseling helps because knowledge is power but we also need skilled workers with boomers retiring and mentoring is a proven self esteem builder. Look at AA.

Lack of self esteem is the major cause of drug addiction. It’s not just stopping drug abuse, it’s about helping them build their own future and a leg up goes a long way.

When a young person earns things they can’t afford to lose, their perspective changes. So does their behavior.

Just a thought, it’s been on my mind. If it pops in my head, it usually comes out my mouth. ✌🏻

Cheers to Buddies Helping Buddies. A great idea
