Link – Stop Dehumanizing People with Addiction
The reality is people with addiction are still people.
As are child abuse survivors, those dealing with mental health issues, people in prison, and on and on. Unfortunately, in our rush to convince ourselves that these “bad” things would never happen to us, or our family, we dehumanize the people who do have these “bad” things in their lives, instead of understanding that we are all people. Until we can understand that we are all people, for good and bad, we will have stigma.
