After loss and trauma, alcohol became part of the workday.

WORDS HAVE POWER!

"Addict." "Junkie." "Clean." "Dirty."

These words don't just describe - they DAMAGE. They strip away humanity and push people further away.

Our new Media Guidelines guide journalists on how they can tell real stories without causing real harm.
