The Recover Hope Campaign's month-long Change the Narrative Challenge launches on Monday, April 15! Have you registered to participate?

By May 15, we aim to partner with you -- the change agents across our network -- to have 20,000 people commit to using person-first and recovery-focused language through our Change the Narrative pledge. By reducing stigma associated with substance use disorders, we will increase acceptance, improve patient care, and save lives.

Ready to join us? Here are three ways to get involved:

1. Registeryour Open School Chapter, organization or institution, or your group of friends and fellow change agents to participate in the challenge as a team.
2. Share the pledgewith your networks. There are prizes for those who collect the most pledges (see information below), so be sure to have them note that they heard about the pledge through your team!
3. Collect pledges in personand report out how many hand-written pledge signatures you've obtained here.

As mentioned earlier, there are two prizes available:

1. The team with the most pledges by the end of the Challenge on May 15, 2019, will be named the Change Agent of the Yearand earn at least four free spots to the 2019 IHI National Forum. The team will present their work, be interviewed at the Forum, and be featured on the IHI website.
2. The individual with the most pledges by May 15, 2019, will earn a scholarship to an upcoming IHI Virtual Expeditionof their choice.
