The Science of Stigma: A Training About What We Know & What We Can Do to Address It
Â
Stigma is a barrier to progress on several social issues relevant to those working in the fields of public health, prevention, mental health, and substance misuse. Stigma is associated with a variety of negative social and health outcomes. For example, many people in need of services do not access them because of perceived stigma. Understanding stigma and methods to reduce it are important for our efforts to grow a culture that supports health and safety for everyone.
Training attendees will:
- recognize the impact of stigma on important health and social issues like the misuse of substances and mental health disorders,
- identify how stigma is manifested and factors that contribute to stigma,
- learn about ways to reduce stigma, and
- be able to apply specific strategies to their work.
Attendees will leave the training with specific next steps to reduce stigma.
