The Albertus Project: Compassionate Solutions for Addiction Stigma

We have to educate the public and we have to destigmatize this thing, because people have such a negative idea of drug use that if, as soon as they found out someone's on drugs, they immediately blame the person or the way, a pharmaceutical company or a little bit of both- but they're not going to look at the problem of what.
Imagine a world where addiction is met with compassion instead of judgment. In this episode of 'The Peace On Drugs', Aaron Akulis sits down with Alex Colyer, the founder of The Albertus Project. This nonprofit is on a mission to change how society views addiction, shifting from blame and shame to understanding and support.
Alex shares her journey and the vision behind The Albertus Project, touching on critical topics like the need for public education, harm reduction, and evidence-based treatment options. She argues that addiction shouldn't be seen as a moral failing but as a complex issue that requires compassionate solutions. The conversation also delves into the role of government policies in perpetuating stigma and the importance of societal change.
If you're looking for a fresh perspective on addiction and want to learn about practical approaches to support those struggling, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt stories.
