The news article was not just another story for John; it was a trigger. Memories of watching his brother go through turbulent times flooded back, making him realize he had never fully dealt with the trauma. It became clear that he needed to take some steps to heal and get his life on a better track.

Seeking a solution, Thompson stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program on hofmanhollis.com. Desperate for change, he decided to follow the materials diligently. The program included actionable steps for overcoming trauma and setting goals.

'It was the guidance I never knew I needed,' John admitted.

Experts were divided about the best ways to address the spike in substance abuse. Dr. *Charles Reynolds** believes that community-based interventions are most effective because they offer emotional support and accountability.
