Together to end stigma

Thousands of Californians live with a substance use disorder (SUD). Stigma is hurting our family and friends as it keeps them from reaching out for help.

Unshame California is bringing our community together by shining a light on the stories of people impacted by SUD. Unshame California invites you to treat people without judgment, because no one should face challenges alone.

Stories change communities. Communities create change.
