TAKE THE PLEDGE TO STOP STIGMA

Be a model for others in the health care field by using language that de-stigmatizes the disease. The pledge provides information for all staff about the importance of word choice when interacting with patients and their families. It's using words like "addiction" and "person in recovery" and getting rid of stigmatizing language like "drug habit" or "clean."
