Topic: Alcohol
The holiday season can be challenging and stressful when trying to navigate the pressures associated with this time of the year.

This training will review strategies on how to avoid or reduce alcohol consumption, as well as discuss techniques for how to talk about one’s alcohol use during a particularly stressful time of year.
