The BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities thrive on connection through family, church, advocacy, and other social bonds that provide vital support during tough times.
Historically, systemic inequities, social stigma, and unequal access to healthcare have contributed to higher rates of substance use disorders among BIPOC individuals. This highlights the urgent need for support and resources.
Supporting our BIPOC communities involves everyone. By spreading the word about substance use risks, promoting culturally competent care, and ensuring equitable resources, we can strengthen our entire community.
