“Overcoming Stigma, Ending Discrimination”
Why does language matter when talking about drug use?
1. Stigma can prevent people from seeking treatment.
2. Stigma can perpetuate negative stereotypes about people who have SUD, which can then lead to intense feelings of shame, guilt, and anger.
3. Stigma can push people into secrecy.
Stigma has deadly consequences. To learn more, visit https://ncapda.org/stigma/ .

Prairie Vista Cranberries LLC is a 2024 Nitrogen Optimization Pilot Program (NOPP) grant recipient! Their project investigates nitrogen application timing and rate in cranberries and is being conducted in collaboration with Allison Jonjak (UW-Madison Extension) and Jyostna Devi Mura (UW-Madison).
Christy Klieforth of Prairie Vista Cranberries says they “wanted to start this project because there hasn’t been a lot of research done in our region regarding nitrogen application, as it is different than most other growing regions in the state.” Prairie Vista is in Adams County and operates in unique conditions—the soil pH is higher than what’s typical for cranberries, and the irrigation water already contains high levels of nitrate. Due to these environmental conditions, Prairie Vista wonders if they can eliminate grower-applied nitrogen altogether, thereby removing excess nitrogen from irrigation water to feed the crop! However, if the trials indicates they do require additional nitrogen, their NOPP project designed to investigate at which bloom stage to apply nitrogen or even if two smaller applications is most beneficial.

“I’ll make my bed!” “I’ll get all A’s at school.” Have your children told you all the ways they will change to convince you two to be together? Children of almost any age worry that they caused their parents’ separation. Kids need to hear (again and again) that they are not responsible for your separation and that nothing will stop you from loving them.
Although relationship difficulties are between two parents, kids often think that something they did or said caused mom and dad to separate. You can help your child cope with their doubts about the separation by giving your child chances to talk about how they feel using emotion coaching. Learn how here: https://parenting.extension.wisc.edu/strong-feelings/
