Autism Awareness Month in April
In honor of Autism Awareness Month last April, as we all do our part to engage and educate others about our loved ones, I thought we’d pass along some additional Autism resources for your.

The Words We Use Matter
Why does language matter? Ending stigma benefits everyone. The stigma of drug misuse keeps people from seeking treatment. Words like “junkie,” “addict” and “druggie” can hurt, damaging self-image and standing in the way of recovery. Addiction is not a choice. It’s a chronic disease similar to diabetes, heart disease, or arthritis.
