This Women’s History Month, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and advocacy of women—especially those who have faced the challenges of substance use disorder (SUD) and found healing. 💪🌸

Women experience SUD in unique ways, often facing stigma, trauma, and limited access to gender-responsive care. But through community, support, and advocacy, they are breaking barriers and leading with empathy.

Let’s honor their stories, elevate their voices, and continue the fight for equitable, trauma-informed care. 💜

It was hard for Kelsey to access recovery resources a decade ago. Now she dedicates herself to making things a little bit easier for other people in that position.
