🎃 Scare the Stigma Away! 💜
Words matter. The labels we use—like “addict,” “junkie,” or “drunk”—create shame and keep people from seeking help. Let’s choose person-first language instead:
• someone who uses
• someone who misuses
• someone with a substance use disorder
When we make room for acceptance, people feel safe to talk, get help, and heal. Recovery is possible—and our community can help make it happen. Share this post to spread the message and start a conversation.
If you’d like resources or training (including Narcan), message the Cumberland County ROSC page.
