Why Does Stigma Still Exist in Addiction? Let’s Have a Conversation.
Individuals with a known and unknown substance use disorder are subjected to
discrimination. Stigma continues to be an ongoing problem for individuals that are
blamed for an addiction to substances. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss and explore ideas on how to effectively educate the community at large and understand why stigma still exists for individuals with challenges with substances. The presentation will consist of an interactive conversation to increase knowledge and offer solutions to continue the ongoing conversation.
1.5 CE Hours
