"You Are Not Alone" Campaign Aims to Help Young People, Families Through Storytelling
The Partnership at Drugfree.org recently launched a new campaign, You Are Not Alone, which calls on people affected by addiction - individuals, families, communities and organizations - to take action and help kids in need.
The You Are Not Alone campaign is a public storytelling - stories of isolation, of heartbreak, and ultimately, of hope and healing - that puts a human face on the disease. Personal stories can provide motivation and inspiration for others. The Partnership invites individuals to share their written story with the You Are Not Alone community. Each month a story will be featured the Partnership's email newsletter, blog, and on the homepage. Eventually, all stories will be highlighted on a new website.
The campaign is dedicated to helping the families of the 11 million American teens and young adults who need treatment for drug or alcohol abuse. The collection of stories aims to bring together and connect million of people directly impacted by addiction with those families.
By joining the campaign, you can take part in helping to lower the barriers families face in getting young people the treatment and recovery support they need.
