thebrownandwhite : reported that Five students form Smash the Stigma to fight substance abuse
"The biggest issue with substance abuse is that no one talks about it or wants to bring it up," Pastorini said. Batts spoke about substance abuse in the Lehigh Valley area and how stigma can inhibit people's ability to acknowledge the problem. To gather more data about how the university community understands substance abuse, the group created surveys they distributed throughout campus. According to data from the U.S. Department of Justice, there were 151 deaths from Marijuana overdoses in the Lehigh Valley in 2016. The class, part of the Global Citizenship interdisciplinary program, required students to give a speech addressing a change they wanted to see in the Lehigh Valley.
