These grant awards will help support creative, innovative initiatives that increase awareness and knowledge about substance use disorders. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 1 in 7 Americans—or more than 20 million people—report experiencing a substance use disorder, and more than 500,000 are Hoosiers. Moreover, the U.S. has experienced a devastating rise in drug overdose deaths in recent years.
Between 1999 and 2020, more than 800,000 Americans died from drug overdoses, and escalating rates of drug addiction have contributed to recent decreases in U.S. life expectancy. While substance use disorders are not rare, neither is recovery. With proper support, people with a substance use disorder can recover.
However, several obstacles exist in our community that interfere with the care that people need and make recovery very difficult to achieve. One major barrier to treatment and recovery in our community is a negative bias against people with substance use disorders. Such biases—sometimes referred to as “stigma”—can lead to behaviors, policies, and practices that discriminate against people with substance use disorders.
Recognizing the enormous challenge that stigma poses to recovery, United Way of the Wabash Valley is committed to investing in education and awareness initiatives that reduce negative biases toward addiction and overdose. The United Way awarded two organizations through this grant program. The first awardee is Mental Health America of West Central Indiana, Inc. with their program “Educating About Substance Use Disorders”.
This program will deliver evidence-based education to healthcare workers, law enforcement, EMS personnel, and K-12 teachers, professionals who potentially interact every day with people struggling with substance use.
By doing so, the program aims to empower these professionals to continually improve how they meet the needs and offer services to individuals with substance use disorders and their families, fostering an environment of support rather than perpetuating stigma.
Mental Health America of West Central Indiana looks to reach up to 1,000 professionals from health care, law enforcement, EMS personnel, and K-12 educators and staff in Clay, Parke, Sullivan, Vermillion, and Vigo Counties.
Abby Desboro, Executive Director of the United Way of the Wabash Valley, stated, “Substance use disorders is a treatable disease, yet people who are struggling face negative attitudes and stigma that make it difficult for them to seek treatment. We can all play a part in helping our community by learning more about addiction and changing how we talk about it.
Through these new programs, United Way seeks to reduce barriers to treatment and help people recover and live happy, fulfilling lives. ” United Way of the Wabash Valley
