Stigma Ends At CU is a student-led campaign functioning out of Carleton University with the goal to reduce stigma around addiction and substance use.
As a campaign it is our goal to facilitate open conversations surrounding substance use while working to create a safe space for all to learn and seek support from peers.
What is stigma? Stigma is any belief, behaviour, or attitude which discriminates against a population. It can be harmful because it creates a barrier preventing individuals from feeling comfortable seeking treatment for substance use disorders.
