About this program
  • FAN believes that education is crucial to prevention, which in turn is crucial to reducing the number of people affected by addiction and dispelling the stigma that is associated with the disease. We have presented to hundreds of schools, universities, hospitals, and institutions across the state and nationwide. We are making a difference by educating students, school personnel, parents, law enforcement, judges, doctors, and other healthcare professionals.

  • All educational sessions can be offered in person or virtually at no cost. There is no minimum time requirement for a presentation, but we do recommend one hour if multiple topics are requested. 

I’m Still a Person: The Stigma of Substance Use & the Power of Respect

The I'm Still a Person Project is a curated collection of educational books and resources by Face Addiction Now. You've discovered us because you're curious about the impact of stigma surrounding substance use and the transformative power of respect.

Addiction is not a choice or a reflection of character; it's a disease that affects individuals of all ages, from all walks of life. Despite its clear medical classification, stigma persists, hindering those in need from seeking the recovery they deserve.

At Face Addiction Now, we're dedicated to confronting stigma head-on. We provide a safe haven where individuals are empowered to seek help without fear of judgment or shame. Through fostering a culture of empathy and support, we dismantle barriers that obstruct the path to recovery.

Every person deserves the opportunity to reclaim their life and rewrite their story.  People do change, recovery does happen.
