Anti-Stigma Network Webinars

Following the success of their first webinar in November 2024, the Anti-Stigma Network have two more webinars planned for 2025:

Exploring Cultural Experiences of Stigma
Thursday 23January 2025
12.30pm – 2pm

Stigma within some minoritised communities in the UK on issues like problematic drug and alcohol use, and a lack of knowledge of support available can lead to reduced help seeking from the people within these communities. Join us as another set of guest speakers talk about this and answer your questions on some of the complexities involved, and additional barriers to support.

Developing Inclusion – Substance use related stigma across general practice
Thursday 20 March
12.30pm – 2pm

What positive steps can we make to ensure that stigmatisation within a GP setting is reduced for people who use drugs and alcohol? A person-centred approach, appropriate language and addressing implicit bias could be key. Hear from three healthcare providers across the UK and Ireland who share their experiences and tips for best practice.

The Anti-Stigma Network commented:

It’s been over a year and a half since we launched the Network and we are so proud of the strength and compassion of our members. There is still so much work to do to improve the understanding of the stigma and discrimination experienced by people harmed by drug and alcohol use, but together we can end stigma.

Let’s continue to welcome individuals and organisations of all kinds to join us, to ensure that people affected by drug and alcohol use are treated fairly, justly and with dignity.
