Stigma Ends with Me: The Foundations

The Substance Use and Addictions Project team at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre has collaborated with the Community Addictions Peer Support Association to host four training sessions over the last two days for Hospital leaders, physicians, and staff. This training, entitled ‘Stigma Ends with Me: The Foundations’, provided evidence-based training with valuable insights into the negative effects of stigma and the impacts to patients, families and healthcare providers. Participants were able to learn practical tools and strategies to eliminate stigma in the healthcare setting and everyday life.
