Against the Backdrop of an Epidemic

Against the Backdrop of an Epidemic was created to invite conversation and self-exploration into stigma related to substance use disorder. Self-Stigma has prevented many individuals from accessing and even being successful in their recovery. In this workshop, we look to identify those stigmas, break down barriers, and crush self-stigma, giving individuals the tools to access their full potential in their recovery journey. Certificate of participation is provided.

Learning Objectives:

  • What is stigma?
  • What is self-stigma?
  • How can we change the conversation around stigma related to substance use disorder?

    Time: 3 hours
