Addiction Awareness Week | 30 October – 6 November

Taking Action on Addiction is a campaign to improve understanding of addiction and end the stigma that surrounds it. They  are calling for addiction to be treated as a serious mental health condition and for increased access to support so that recovery can be possible for everyone.

This year Taking Action on Addiction are looking at why addiction awareness matters – how tackling stigma and misunderstanding will help more people and families access the help they need. They want to show the world that addiction can happen to anyone and it is not a choice, but recovery is possible with the right support!

Action on Addiction have launched this years campaign saying “Perceptions of addiction need to change. Our aim is to build compassion and understanding around addiction and support people to ask for help without judgement, discrimination or stigma. Anyone can be affected by addiction and everyone deserves the help they need to overcome it. Taking Action on Addiction is a partnership of charities who believe in working together to bring about the change so badly needed to help more people and families find recovery.

The Princess of Wales message of support

The princess said “Attitudes to addiction are changing. But we are not there yet, and we need to be. Still the shame of addiction is stopping people and families asking for help and people are still tragically losing their lives.

We as a society need to recognise that the only way to help those suffering is to try and understand what has led them to addiction, to empathise with them and to be compassionate to their struggles.

Addiction is a serious mental health condition that can happen to anyone, no matter what age, gender, race or nationality.”
