SAFE Project believes there is #NoShame in getting help or in talking about mental health and addiction. Join us in creating a nationwide movement by inviting someone you know to take the #NoShame Pledge, to combat negative public perception and support others in speaking up about their own disorders.
We have created a sample email with a link to the pledge below for your use.
Sample Invite:
Dear Contact:
More than 108,000 Americans lost their lives to overdoses in 2021. This is the highest number of Americans lost to overdoses ever recorded.
In fact, it is safe to say we all know someone who has been impacted by mental health and/or substance use disorder, but we fail to talk openly about it.
Silence perpetuates the stigma surrounding these disorders.
Help us to demonstrate nationwide understanding, hope and solidarity and let people know that there is No Shame in getting help for mental health & addiction, by joining me in taking the No Shame Pledge.
Take the pledge at safeproject.us/takethepledge to help combat negative public perception and support others in speaking up about their own disorders.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
