In this episode of the Conversations with Caregivers webinar series, Lyndsay Tkach and Jennifer Mackinday tackle substance use and how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the perception of substance use. Through this discussion, we want you to be able to better understand some of the reasons for substance use, how it has become normalized in times of stress, as well as resources you can reach out to if you are struggling with substance use.
