The ‘Get Comfortable with the Uncomfortable’ campaign recognises just how difficult it can be to talk about addiction – whether you’re a young person, or someone who cares about a young person.
By showing how awkward, embarrassing and stress-inducing these discussions can be, we’re acknowledging the hard truth, but inviting people to feel the discomfort and have the important discussion anyway.
Only when we get comfortable with the uncomfortable moments, and proceed with open hearts, can we help more young people get the support they need.
To help open up the conversation even further this Youth Week, we invite you to share these tiles on your socials – make sure you follow and tag @sirdavidmartinfoundation on Facebook and Instagram.
Simply right-click the image of your choice and save to download. Then upload the image on your social media accounts to help us spread the word about opening up blame-free conversations on youth addiction.
Our ‘Get Comfortable with the Uncomfortable’ campaign is designed as a conversation starter to get more people talking openly about youth addiction. But conversations should never be one way! Do you have something to say? Email j.ball@martinfoundation.org.au with your story, comment or even just a link to some useful content that you’d like to share. Don’t worry, any information you provide can remain completely confidential.
If you or a young person in your life is experiencing problems with drug and alcohol it’s important to seek help. There’s a range of services available nationally to help you.
