Hello hello! Even though it is only the beginning of March, Addiction Support is planning several events for Alcohol Awareness Month in April. We are still in the planning process, so we welcome any help! You are welcome to sign up for events or make your own (if you are uncomfortable with discussing/writing about alcohol, feel free to do something inclusive like coping methods, stress management, etc).
We'd love to colloborate with other subcomms/teams too. Here is the planning sheet to sign up.

I'm slightly confused, but, i would like to help out with the Alcohol Awareness Week but I'm not sure how
@peacefullistener22 Hi peace! If youd like to help out, feel free to sign up via the google doc I posted. Wed appreciate any help with feed events. I know AveryLove is looking for volunteers for the rel and friendship forum discussion. Anyone is welcome to do an AMA as well.

@Kate its also Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month.
Anything planned? :O
@AveryLove Nope we chose not to do anything for it, as we currently dont have a lot of leaders for Trauma and decided we wait until event that covers all abuse.
Although if anyone else wishes to do something , let me know !
(p.s kate no longer involved with events officially apart from the social media side just so you aware - hence me replying)
@fluffyUnicorns84 i am actually very interested in doing something for it, but definitely would need some other volunteers too :)
@AveryLove would love to help organize something!
@AveryLove Any upcoming Trauma Events welcome to message me anytime since im the FM for that we could organize upcoming ones
Lots of good work here.
Appreciate it.
