Celebrating Safely during the Holidays

December is National Impaired Driving Awareness Month. The holidays are a joyful time for family and friends to celebrate; however they can pose challenges for some.  Then, for those who have lost family through impaired driving, they can be excruciating. In this episode, we talk about substance use in and around all of this and explore ways to traverse the holidays safely. Rhonda Campbell, a Senior Victim-Services Specialist with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), joins us to frame what “victim impact” means and the importance of parent voice when it comes to impaired driving and keeping families safe so all can remain joyful.  This podcast is brought to you by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
