The Impact of Stigma on Access to Services

The Impact of Stigma on Access to Services

The Impact of Stigma on Access to Services examines how stigma—public, self, and structural—creates real barriers for people with substance use disorders in accessing care and recovery support. Participants will explore the role of language, policy, and provider attitudes in reinforcing or reducing stigma, and gain practical tools to shift narratives, advocate for change, and center lived experience. Designed for providers, peers, and advocates, the session underscores that addressing stigma isn’t optional—it’s a critical part of an effective public health response.
