I’ve often said stigma is one of our biggest killer. It keeps families and individuals in the shadows, and from getting the help they need. We need to come together on #WorldMentalHealthDay to share our stories so we break down stigma.

Only way we can lower stigma is to stop the “them” vs “us” rhetoric. If addiction can impact my family, it can happen to anyone.@capitolcityrx @HowardU #TrainRespondRepeat #ccpmrcts2K18
