Shine a Light on Stigma Campaign
Words matter.
People with substance use disorder (SUD) have a medical condition and need medical care. Yet the language often used to describe people with substance use disorders tends to blame or demean them, creating a stigma that interferes with their opportunity to seek treatment.
Eliminating stigma is one of the first steps to helping people with substance use disorders access the medical care they need.
The mission of the Superior Health Shine a Light on Stigma campaign is to increase respect for and dignity of persons with substance use disorder. We are asking individuals and organizations to learn about and commit to eliminating the stigma surrounding substance use disorders by changing the language they use.
