We Are Jeff

Those people are us

Stigma is the use of negative stereotypes to judge or discriminate.

Unfortunately, stigma is one of the largest, most impactful barriers that people who use drugs face on a daily basis. People who use drugs come from all walks of life, we don’t know who might be struggling. Talk to your friends and family about drug use.
