Stigma Ends With Me

January 25, 2023 @ 10:30 am. - 12:00 pm.

This webinar aims to uncover biases and change how we view people who use substances, and will help show how stigma affects people. It will teach attendees how to connect in a non-stigmatizing way by learning how to use language that focuses on the person, not their use of substances. Attendees will also gain the knowledge needed to help improve the health outcomes of people who use/d substances.
