Eliminate the Whisper.
End the Epidemic.
Families, Allies, & Survivors.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Save lives, restore families, and strengthen communities.
AARA will do for addiction what the Susan G. Komen Foundation has done for breast cancer: shatter the stigma and show America that recovery is real.
OUR Vision
Stop the stigma, save lives, and end the epidemic.
We know the disease of addiction can happen to anyone and has touched or impacted everyone in some way. Yet, there is still a harmful stigma that follows it. When addiction is mentioned, people lower their voices, hesitate, or even try to avoid it completely. We exist to do the opposite. We do not do anything quietly and are not afraid of speaking up.
We are here to stop the stigma and bring awareness to a disease that is quietly but drastically impacting so many. We know recovery is real and everyone needs to hear that. We are unifying an army to ignite awareness and amplify the voices of families and survivors who have been deeply affected by this disease.
Through these collective voices, we will gain greater public awareness and influence policies in legislation, businesses, communities, and more that promote recovery and remove the stigma. We are fighting to retell our story.
OUR APPROACH
We are the voice of help and hope, driving recovery forward and eliminating the whisper.
AARA is your trusted leader in improving the lives of individuals and their families impacted by addiction, overdose, and mental health. We support efforts to empower people to live their lives to the fullest in recovery and without the shame and fear associated with stigma.
