NeC-ROTAC Webinar: Understanding Substance Use Stigma in Rural Areas
August 12 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
FreeStigma is a major barrier to addressing mental health and substance use disorders (SUDs) in rural communities. Rural areas often have close-knit populations with strong social and cultural norms, which can amplify feelings of shame and judgment toward individuals struggling with addiction. This webinar will address the impact of stigma surrounding substance use and mental health in rural communities, explore barriers to treatment and recovery, and discuss strategies for reducing stigma to foster more supportive environments.
