The language we use has remarkable impacts on how society views mental health and substance use disorders. Whether you are a person in recovery, a family member of a person in recovery, or an ally like myself, I believe that when we change our language, we can change our culture. We are Change Agents.
This is the extended version of Jarmichael’s July 2020 TEDxJHRoseHigh Talk. This talk highlights the challenges people who use drugs (PWUD) and those seeking treatment face. COVID-19 has exposed our nation in many ways, but certainly in addressing the wide gaps of resources available to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). Highlights of the discussion will include the systemic oppression that has attributed to a healthcare system that has under-served BIPOC, the failed War on Drugs, and how we as a community have the power to "treat the soil" to provide better outcomes for those in need.
