Harm reduction includes safer use, managed use, abstinence, meeting people who use drugs “where they're at,” and addressing conditions of use along with the use itself. Olive reminds us that harm reduction is valid as we remain together in healing, together in hope.

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. "I've always been a little bit feisty, and today I get to fight for people's rights," she says. "Everyone deserves respect and human dignity."

Showing love to everyone in our community, no matter who they are, can make a big difference. For Keya, meeting a woman who wanted to pray for her made her feel cared for and supported. That act of kindness meant so much to her. Being generous to the people around us—whether they’re friends, family, or strangers—can help break down stigma and create real change.

Georgia Recovers Community Impact Committee (CIC) members, Keya and Jimbo, share tips that have helped them cope with grief and loss during the holidays.

1. Practice self-care when grieving. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and enough sleep can help strengthen you emotionally.

2. Lean on your support system. Don't underestimate the power of connecting for support. Whatever and wherever that looks like for you, it will be the strength you need to share experiences and feel understood.

3. Build on family traditions. Honoring cherished traditions of loved ones that have passed while creating new ones with family allows you to celebrate their memory. It is an opportunity to make peace with the happy and bittersweet memories.
