Many people want to change their patterns around drugs and alcohol but are hesitant to get started. They may feel shame about their substance use or unsure how to find support. The Start With Hope website is a judgment-free, affirming resource for people at risk of developing a substance use disorder.
Everyone’s path to wellbeing is unique, and it’s common to have stops and starts along the way. Start With Hope focuses on the motivating power of hope and encourages people to take the steps that feel right to them.
Start With Hope features real people sharing their stories about how they changed their relationship with substances, and are on their continued journey towards recovery. The Ad Council, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, National Council for Mental Wellbeing, and Shatterproof partnered on this campaign to help people access the care and support they need on their wellbeing journeys.
