This week, we’re diving into one of the most powerful tools in harm reduction — language. The words we use can either build bridges or walls. They can heal or they can harm. Every “addict,” “junkie,” or “clean/dirty” comment has weight — and when we change our words, we change the energy of the entire conversation around addiction. In this lesson, we’ll talk about how to recognize stigmatizing language, why it matters, and how to replace it with words that offer dignity, hope, and connection. Because being a Hope Dealer isn’t just about handing out Narcan — it’s about handing out compassion with every conversation. 💛 🗣️ Your challenge this week: Notice the language you use (and hear) about addiction — in media, at work, or even in your own thoughts. Then ask yourself: “Would I say that if the person I loved most in the world was the one struggling?” Let’s rewrite the narrative together. ✨ — Desiree Hope in one hand, resources in the other.
