📣 21 Days to End Stigma: Day #3 — Recover Out Loud

Today, we’re focusing on Recovering Out Loud.

For many people, stigma can make it difficult to talk openly about opioid use, treatment, and recovery. Fear of judgment can keep people silent—and sometimes even prevent people from reaching out for help.

But sharing stories of recovery can create hope, understanding, and connection.

🎥 Today’s resource: Take a few minutes to watch today’s video and hear a perspective that can help us think differently about recovery and the people who experience it.

📖 21 Days to End Stigma: Day #2 — The Story Powered Initiative

Today, we’re taking time to listen to a story of recovery and resilience from Carla S.

Personal stories have the power to challenge assumptions, build understanding, and remind us that a person’s journey is about so much more than a diagnosis or a label. When we listen to stories with compassion and without judgment, we can begin to replace stigma with understanding.

Take a few minutes today to read Carla’s story, reflect on what you learn, and consider how sharing lived experiences can help change the conversation around opioid use and recovery.

🌱 21 Days to End Stigma

We’re taking the 21-Day Challenge to End Stigma! Over the next three weeks, we’ll be sharing a combination of articles, videos, audio, infographics, and other educational resources focused on reducing the stigma surrounding opioid use, opioid use disorder, and treatment.

📖 Day #1 - Language Matters

Language matters. Let’s replace terms like “addict” and “junkie” with smarter language that aligns with the science.

August 21 is National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day™.

This day remembers those lost to illegal fentanyl overdoses. It also urges us to take steps to prevent more tragedies.

Counterfeit pills may look like real medication but can contain fentanyl. You can’t see, taste, or smell fentanyl. Even a single pill can be deadly.

This year, talk to the young people in your life. Start the conversation early. Share facts to help prevent overdoses: https://bit.ly/4bZPALM

We asked you to clean out your cabinets—and we are blown away by the results!

Today's Drug Take Back Event at the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Brown County WI brought in 112.5 pounds of expired and unwanted medication. That's over 30 pounds MORE than what was collected at our event last fall.

The boxes filled today are being securely stored by the Brown County Sheriff's Office until they can be safely destroyed.

THANK YOU for helping keep our community safe and healthy!
