“The advice I would give to other coalitions working through the COVID-19
pandemic is to persevere,” said Breazeale. “Hard times come and go. We will
get through this, but we must make the best of what we have. If there’s a
will there is a way, just keep working at it every day and you will find
your way. Don’t worry about the attendance numbers at events hosted by your
coalition, even if they are lower than usual. Instead, stay focused and go
with your instincts when planning. Business as usual is not what we are
looking at. Think of yourselves as being essential to helping your
community combat substance misuse and spread awareness. Isolation has
really affected communities as a whole. Get advice from your local
healthcare facilities and other environmental agencies. Be safe while being
creative.”
