Words Matter, Let´s Fight Stigma!
Hi. I just wanted to share these resources as it is part of what I´ve learned recently in my courses and volunteering experience. I found it so valuable and hopefully, it helps some people feel more supported and heard. Whoever is struggling with substance use just wanted to do a kind reminder that substance use disorder is a manageable chronic condition, it is not your fault, as a society we have failed many people and it is the responsibility of the healthcare system to continue doing better so all of you have the best resources.

Words and phrases certainly do matter. Thank youu for sharing.💛
With words, I feel, sometimes most people aren't even aware of how un-supportive they may be sounding, so resources as these to get some refreshers and to learn something new are always so helpful, to someone who is open minded and welcoming of learning something new and trying to be more supportive and compassionate!💛
