Coming soon

Unshame North Carolina is an evidence-informed public health initiative striving to end the stigma that stops people with substance use disorder (SUD) from finding treatment. Each person featured is a North Carolinian sharing their personal stories of hope and strength. This initiative is brought to you by the Department of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Use Services (DMHDDSUS) in partnership with Shatterproof.

“Education is our strongest ally against the war on stigma.

We have to be more aware of what the issues are.”

- Philip | Asheville, NC
