Stigma and Language for Organisations

Many organisations that have a connection with people who use, or have used drugs or alcohol will have thought about language and stigma in depth and have their own resources.

If you have, we hope this will be a useful addition to your work in this area. But this may be a new consideration for many.

We have been working with organisations from sectors as diverse as education, finance, retail, government, the arts, manufacturing, transport and many more.

If you do not have a daily connection with people who use, or have used, drugs or alcohol we hope this is a useful guide to help you make a start on considering why language matters.
