With support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), NACCHO is seeking a consultant to develop and disseminate effective and research informed messaging through a national anti-stigma campaign that amplifies the humanity, stories and strengths of people who use drugs to promote a narrative of support, opportunity, and shared community.

The comprehensive campaign should address social stigma and take a holistic approach to solutions for communities to support harm reduction and reduce stigma and discrimination for people who use drugs. We hope to offer an alternative to the pervasive narrative that villainizes people who use drugs, promotes criminal responses, and perpetuates the racism that has been built into the social constructs of our media and society around drug use.

Please see application requirements and full details of the project in the Requests for Proposals.

Applications must be submitted no later than December 15th, 2023, by 5:00 pm Eastern Time. Please submit your application as a PDF to NACCHO’s Overdose, Injury, and Violence Prevention team at [email protected] with the subject line, Overdose and Harm Reduction: Communications and Media Consultant application.
