At Crimson Wellness, we’re committed to bringing attention to the real stories, struggles, and support systems that surround substance use—and April’s Alcohol Awareness Month is the perfect time to do just that.

Alcohol Awareness Month is a national observance that shines a light on alcohol use and misuse, helping individuals, families, and communities gain a deeper understanding of the impact alcohol can have on mental, physical, and emotional health.

Why It Matters
Alcohol misuse affects people from all walks of life—regardless of race, gender, age, or background. What often starts as casual or social drinking can quietly develop into dependency or addiction, leading to health challenges, fractured relationships, financial strain, and emotional hardship. Unfortunately, stigma and shame can prevent people from seeking the help they need.

Alcohol Awareness Month is about breaking that silence.
It’s about education, compassion, and letting people know: You’re not alone. Help is available. Recovery is possible.

What Crimson Wellness Is Doing
Throughout the month of April, Crimson Wellness is committed to:
• Sharing evidence-based information about alcohol misuse and recovery
• Providing peer support for individuals in recovery or seeking harm reduction
• Offering confidential screenings and referral support
• Hosting open, non-judgmental discussions around substance use, trauma, and healing
• Connecting individuals to local resources for treatment, support groups, and counseling

Know the Signs
Do you or someone you love...
• Drink to cope with stress, grief, or anxiety?
• Feel guilty or ashamed after drinking?
• Hide or downplay the amount of alcohol consumed?
• Struggle to meet responsibilities due to drinking?
• Experience withdrawal symptoms when not drinking?
If so, now is the time to explore support options in a safe and compassionate space. You are not defined by your struggles—you are worthy of healing and hope.

Crimson Wellness is here to help.
