Substance use disorder (SUD) for Educators

Educators are often the first to notice when a student or family may need additional support. Substance use disorder (SUD) is a health condition that can impact learning, behavior, and overall well-being—but help is available. Making timely referrals to trusted community resources is a critical step in connecting students and families to prevention, treatment, and recovery supports. These resources prioritize early intervention, trauma-informed care, and strong connections to local services, ensuring educators are not navigating these challenges alone. Together, through awareness and referrals, we can create safe, supportive pathways that help every student thrive.
