Copy: Did you know that one in 7 Americans experiences a substance use disorder? Addiction can happen to anyone, and it's crucial to address this issue with compassion and understanding.
👉 A powerful step we can all take is to use "person-first" language. This means focusing on the individual, not just their condition. Instead of saying "substance abuser," say "a person with a substance use disorder." Research shows this reduces stigma.
Let's create a more compassionate and supportive community for those dealing with addiction. By choosing our words wisely, we can promote understanding and empathy, helping those in need find the path to recovery.

Copy: Our upcoming Overdose Awareness Day Event is Ausgust 29th, let's remember and celebrate the lives of those who fought against addiction and were lost too soon to overdose.
If you have a story about a loved one lost to overdose, please share it. By sharing our experiences, we remember those we've lost and support others going through similar pain.
Use the hashtag #RememberingWithLove to create a space of empathy and strength. Together, we can break the stigma surrounding addiction and provide hope for those still struggling.
🌟 Let's make this Overdose Awareness Day a day of unity, compassion, and remembrance.
