Drug-related stigma presents barriers to effectively supporting clients who use drugs. Our biases are learned from a culture that stigmatizes drug use and ostracizes those with substance use disorders. This three-hour training will focus on identifying our biases and societal stigma surrounding people who use drugs and actions we can take to address them.

Participants will:

1. Unpack drug-related stigma at the community, individual, and structural level
2. Gain a framework (ladder of inference) and tools to examine personal biases and unpack them
3. Learn about the manifestations of drug-related stigma in media, policies, politics, etc.
4. Develop strategies to challenge workplace/community policies and culture that perpetuate stigma
5. Build skills to interrupt/challenge drug-related stigma at the interpersonal level

Continuing education units (CEUs) will be offered in partnership with AdCare Educational Institute.
