High Stress Coping and Substance Use: A Toxic Combination

Coping with life stressors, be it health issues, economic stability, or family well-being, can be especially difficult for some.

This interactive dialogue will look at how chronic stress can alter brain chemistry, make individuals more susceptible to substance use, and will further review stress-reducing activities for healthy ways of managing stress and its impact on wellness.
