First responders carry so much for our communities. They run toward danger, sit with families on the hardest days, and shoulder trauma most of us never see. A national behavioral health disaster response system led by focused programs like ResponderStrong is a real step forward for them. It means more timely counseling, peer support, and crisis resources. It means less red tape when someone needs help now, not later. It means healthier teams, better retention, and safer communities. It means more lives saved. Recently, ResponderStrong received a large donation from Webull Financial to build this behavioral health disaster response system, greatly expanding access for first responders to much needed resources. Opus is dedicated to sharing good news like this within the behavioral health industry, and that is why we created the Opus Good News Newsletter.

Live from Cape Cod Symposium: “Over 90% of adults who are addicted will say that they started using before the age of 18.” In this clip, Kristen Lamendola from Partnership to End Addiction talks about why addressing adolescent substance use early, and engaging families in the process, is critical to changing outcomes. Preventing or delaying use until 18 (or even better, 21) dramatically lowers the likelihood of addiction. And when treatment is needed, supporting families and tailoring care for young people makes all the difference. #capecodsymposium #behavioralhealth #substanceabuse #mentalhealth #podcast
