Description
The foreword to the graphic novels in Voices of Resiliency: Utah Stories of Substance Use Disorder, Stigma, & Harm Reduction explains the aims of this community-driven project, including giving voice to the lived experiences and best practices around drug use, recovery, and stigma and harm reduction. The project creators share their hope that the volumes in the series will aid people who use drugs, their families and friends, neighbors, health professionals, educators, first responders, legislators, and people involved in the justice system in their journey regarding substance use disorder and stigma and harm reduction. The foreword acknowledges the generous funders and supporters and praises the outstanding project team members—including many community scholars. The project is an outcome of Informing the National Narrative: Stories of Utah’s Opioid Crisis Project, 2019-2021 an oral history effort which was partially inspired by Voices from Drug Court: Cache Valley Drug Court Oral History Project, 2016-17; both projects are housed in Utah State University’s Special Collections and Archives in Digital Collection.
