The No Shame Education Program is a fundamental course on substance addiction and mental health that is universal, innovative, and evidence-informed. The program builds out knowledge of the principles listed on SAFE Project’s No Shame Pledge and aims to end stigma.

Learning Objectives:
  • Recognize the impact of addiction
  • Understand the disease concept of addiction and its link to mental health and wellness
  • Breakdown myths, stigma, and perceived attitudes about mental health and addiction challenges
  • Explore contributing factors to addiction

New to the Program:
  • A comprehensive facilitator’s guide with engagement prompts, suggested exercises, presentation tips, and supplemental resources
  • Captivating visuals to energize students and encourage active participation
  • Pre- and post-assessments for both facilitators and participants

NOTE: With the relaunch of our No Shame Pledge in 2026, we are currently revising the No Shame Education Program to reflect the new language. Please stay tuned for updates and availability!
