In a world where public discourse often leans towards negativity when it comes to caring for people who use drugs or live with addiction, Someone’s Someone is here to bring awareness to the issues surrounding addiction and the best practices for supporting individuals with substance use disorders.
Our Belief: Everyone is Someone’s Someone
Addiction does not discriminate. It affects individuals from all walks of life, regardless of race, religion, creed, or colour. It doesn’t matter your background, economic standing, or social status—addiction can happen to anyone, at any time.
Our Commitment: Care is Available
Some of the best practices in addiction care are at risk. It’s crucial to know what leading experts in the field are saying and why it matters. We are dedicated to ensuring that the highest standards of care are upheld and that the public is informed about these vital practices.
Our Mission: Change the Narrative
In the heart of every community, amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, there are stories that often go untold, faces that go unnoticed, and lives that quietly struggle. We seek to change the narrative around addictions by addressing public misconceptions around drug use and opioid poisoning, and by emphasizing the profound human connections that are often overlooked.
Our Actions: Humanize, Educate, Advocate
Educate: Provide comprehensive information on the realities of addictions, the stigma surrounding addictions and the importance of evidence-informed care.
Humanize: Share personal narratives to humanize the experiences of those affected by substance use and addiction, and how those struggles affect us all.
Advocate: Encourage decision makers to make policy changes to increase access to services and supports.
Join us in transforming the way society views and treats addiction, because everyone is someone’s someone.
