"Steven was talented, loving, funny, and fun. He was sensitive and kind, and was there when you needed him. His love of music took him all over the country. His struggles did not define him, and he lived a lot of life in his too-short 32 years.

I think he'd like to be remembered as someone who tried hard, fell down, and got back up. As someone who loved you all, and thought of you always."

Fentanyl is where my story begins — but it’s also where my brother’s life ended. 💔

My beautiful brother, James, died in August 2019 at just 28 years old after battling substance use disorder. He was more than his addiction. He was loved. He mattered. He should still be here.

Today, I’m honoring him and the countless families impacted by overdose.

7 out of 10 adults living with addiction are employed. 💼

Substance use disorders don’t erase someone’s work ethic, talent, or potential. Many people show up to work every day, doing their best while carrying a burden most people can’t see.

Shatterproof is fighting to end addiction stigma to create a world where addiction never defines or ends a life. Join us at https://bit.ly/4kaoUuG

Imagine living with a treatable chronic illness — and instead of receiving care, you’re met with judgment.

What would that do to your sense of worth? Your self-esteem? Your health?

This is the reality for many people living with substance use disorder. Addiction stigma isolates, harms, and costs lives — every single day.

Shatterproof's National Addiction Stigma Strategy is replacing shame with understanding, and barriers with pathways to care.

Fear of judgment is powerful. It can keep someone silent, even around the people who love and support them most.

And that silence is heavy. It can mean delayed care, untreated illness, and lives lost to overdose.

At Shatterproof, we’ve spent more than a decade working to reduce addiction stigma and build a world where it’s safe to ask for help — without shame, without labels, without fear.

If this is personal for you, you’re not alone.

💔 Addiction says “hide your pain.”
❤️Recovery says “you belong here.”

Recovery isn't a solo journey — it's built on community, empathy, and the courage to heal out loud.

More than 48 million Americans are living with substance use disorder.

Yet only about 1 in 5 people who need treatment receive it, and fewer still receive care that meets evidence-based standards.

That gap represents lives at risk.

From state legislatures to Capitol Hill, we’re creating policy change that will help more Americans recover. Learn more about our work at https://bit.ly/4ceQrsP

🚨 Help Utah Families Access Behavioral Health Care — Urge Your State Senator to Vote YES on HB 71.

Too many Utah families face long wait times, inaccurate insurance directories, and hours spent calling providers who aren’t accepting patients or don’t take their insurance. When someone is ready to seek help, these barriers can delay or prevent lifesaving care.

HB 71 would help Utah residents find and access care by:

✅Making directories easy to find, searchable, downloadable, and available without login

✅Requiring plain-language explanations of insurance networks, referrals, and prior authorization requirements

✅Requiring insurers to help patients access out-of-network providers if timely in-network appointments aren't available

✅Mandating insurers regularly verify and update provider directories and fix inaccuracies

HB 71 has passed the House and is now awaiting a final vote in the Utah Senate. Lawmakers could act at any time.

📣 Tell your State Senator to vote YES on HB 71 and remove barriers to behavioral health care in Utah.

Utah has a critical opportunity to improve access to mental health and substance use disorder treatment. HB 71 would require accurate provider directories and help patients access care when appointments aren’t available. The Senate could vote any day—your voice can make a difference.
