About Shatterproof
Shatterproof was founded in 2013 to fill the gap for a well‑funded, national, coordinated effort to reverse the course of the addiction health crisis, with the singular goal of ending the devastation addiction is causing our families. We know there are science‑based solutions that can prevent and treat this disease, and we are committed to what research has proven to be effective. We have identified three priority pillars: transforming addiction treatment, ending addiction stigma, and educating and empowering communities.
Transforming Addiction Treatment: Shatterproof is transforming the U.S. healthcare system for the more than 40 million Americans living with a substance use disorder (SUD). Like anyone suffering from a disease, those with this disease deserve access to treatment that is based on science, complemented by a supportive recovery community, both free of shame and stigma. Removing barriers to lifesaving treatment is a core mission focus of Shatterproof.
Ending Addiction Stigma: Shatterproof's National Stigma Initiative replicates the success of other transformational social movements-such as HIV/AIDS activism, cancer awareness, and marriage equality-in catalyzing the change needed to create a more tolerant, more compassionate, and healthier future. We are committed to creating solutions that are adept at changing attitudes and behaviors and ultimately closing SUD treatment gaps and health inequities for historically disadvantaged populations who experience compounded discrimination and bias.
Supporting and Empowering Communities: Shatterproof is committed to educating and empowering our families and communities nationwide by providing supportive and evidence‑based resources related to prevention, treatment and recovery from addiction.
