Participant Question: First of all, I want to thank you, Jessica, for sharing your personal journey with your parent's substance abuse disorder. I work with foster youth and many of them have had their lives disrupted by a parent's substance abuse disorder and it has left them with various emotions and feelings toward their parents. Do you have educational resources that are directed toward educating youth directly affected?
Jessica's Response: Thank you for the work you do. Yes, we have resources for adolescents:

   
Participant Question: What about families who are left behind and not supported and what about grieving those losses?
Jessica's Response: So important to support families. We have a project that remembers those lost to addiction and provides support for families. Any family members who want to get involved can visit https://www.stop-overdose.org
