Social media can often bring distractions, false images and consumer driven narratives into our lives. No one wants these complications. We are wise to limit time on social media to allow space for quiet and peace in our busy existences.
But there are some exceptions.
During the last few years, a number of support communities for families struggling with addiction crisis have been founded on Facebook pages, groups and websites. These easily accessible electronic communities offer families resources, understanding and a place to share their experience, strength and hope with others.
The Addict’s Family, Mothers Against Substance Abuse and MomPower.org are resources that provide support and information for families. Especially during this holiday season, it is important for families to lean into sources of strength, wisdom and empathy that help them deal with the challenge of substance use disorder in their family system.
