Taking Action On Addiction | A campaign website to bring more understanding and help reduce the stigma surrounding addiction

Taking Action on Addiction (TAOA) is a national campaign that seeks to improve everyone's understanding of addiction and to end the stigma that surrounds addiction - and sometimes, even the stigma that comes with recovery. Our campaign is calling for addiction to be treated as a serious mental health condition with increased access to support so that recovery can be possible for everyone.

The Road to Recovery: one brick, one step, one step at a time

This Recovery Month, we’re inviting you to be part of something special. Through our new virtual fundraising platform, Ema, celebrate your recovery by clicking on a brick and sharing your number of recovery days – you can even leave a message of encouragement or strength to someone struggling right now.

Every brick added becomes part of a growing path of strength and solidarity, showing that recovery is possible and that no one has to walk the road alone.

Together we can break the stigma, improve understanding and make recovery accessible for everyone.

Get involved and share your Road to Recovery today.
