Shattering the Stigma of Substance Use Disorders
December 11, 2024 @ 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Unlike many chronic diseases, substance use disorders (SUD) are often seen as a moral failing. This stigma deeply impacts everyone including individuals, families, and communities. It also presents major barriers to ensure access to life-saving overdose prevention services and treatment.
Join the National Overdose Prevention Network on December 11, 2024 from 11:30 am -12:30 pm PT, to learn from Leslie Alfaro, the National Stigma Initiative Program Manager at Shatterproof. Leslie will outline the real-world impact of stigma, including new data from Shatterproof’s recent nationwide survey on addiction stigma, the largest survey on attitudes towards SUD. She will also share the storied history of stigma towards those with SUD and outline practical steps that everyone can take to combat addiction stigma in their communties.
This Web Forum is sponsored by the National Overdose Prevention Network, a program of PHI Center for Health Leadership & Impact and produced by Dialogue4Health.
