As the parent of a child who dealt with a substance use disorder (SUD), Susan urges others to lead with compassion. Her son, Brandon, was a bighearted and fun-loving person who used substances to cope with trauma. Susan reminds everyone that SUD is a medical condition that can impact anyone, and that most of us probably know someone who has dealt with an SUD firsthand. She encourages others to always respond with kindness rather than stigma to people with an SUD, so that they know they're loved and feel safe to reach out for help.
