Thank you for your interest in sharing your story with the #MyCareMyChoice campaign. Your living or lived experience is powerful. When you speak, you help shift the public narrative around substance use, recovery, and what real care looks like. This campaign exists because lived and living experience is not only valid, it’s essential. By submitting your story, you are helping challenge stigma, resist coercive policies, and show decision-makers that dignity and choice are not optional… they are the foundation of effective care.

Whether you write a sentence or a full page, record a voice note, or simply share a quote, your voice matters, and your contribution is deeply valued. Together, our stories help reclaim power and demand care that centers respect, autonomy, and humanity.

We’re honoured to hold space for your experience.

This form can be filled out virtually (via email, voice note, or secure web form) or in person with a trusted collaborator organization. Completed forms can be emailed to carewithoutcoercion@catalysthaven.ca by the collaborator or directly by the storyteller.

Thank you!

With humility and gratitude, we acknowledge our work takes place on sovereign Indigenous lands and traditional territories across Turtle Island. We acknowledge that the land are on is, always has been, and will always be the home of Indigenous Peoples.

We live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, Tsuut’ina, Îyârhe Nakoda, Nehiyaw, Dëne Sųłiné, Dane-zaa, Nakota Sioux, as well as the Métis Peoples of Region 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 and all people who make their homes in Alberta. These lands are subject to Treaties 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10, and have long served as meeting grounds, travel routes, and gathering places for many diverse First Nations as well as Métis, and Inuit peoples. We recognize all these Nations and communities, whose rich histories, languages, cultures, and traditions continue to thrive and are key to the enrichment of all our communities.

We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on.
