Reach is working towards decreasing stigma around addiction and mental illness by helping the general public understand what it’s like to live with such issues. We’re looking for participants to join in the fight by sharing their own experiences with us over 30 days! The campaign starts June 1st, and consists of answering one question about your experience with addiction and/or mental illness per day for the month of June (you can choose to answer them all at once as well, whatever works for you!).
Once you’ve answered all of the questions (see link below), send your responses in PDF or Word format to [email protected] (subject: Power of One) where they will be compiled into a page on our website, shared on social media, and potentially made into a booklet to be sold with all proceeds donated to the Reach Foundation! Please share this campaign with others who may be interested in participating, the more people that speak up the quicker stigma may be erased!
