I'd like to know what "bring a human face to the problem" mean? Anyone can help me? Thanks!! (Ex: His stories bring a human face to the problem of drugs and alcohol in the workplace.)

It means to make the problem more personal. We can sympathize with someone's misery if we can see the face of a person who has the problem. If the affected people are faceless, unnamed, anonymous people, we don't feel for them.
