Addressing Substance Use and Mental Health Stigma In Primary Care Settings
Brought to you by the New England ATTC, this engaging webinar with subject matter expert Humberto Carvalho addresses the impact of stigma surrounding substance use and mental health in primary care settings, explores barriers to treatment and recovery, and discusses strategies for reducing stigma to foster more supportive environments.
Stigma is a major barrier to addressing substance use disorders (SUDs) and mental health issues. Reducing stigma in primary care requires fostering an inclusive environment where patients feel safe, heard, and respected—through education, empathy, and open dialogue.
Learning Objectives:
• Inform participants on the impact of stigma and how it affects patient outcomes.
• Explore strategies to encourage providers to recognize unconscious biases and cultivate compassionate, patient-centered care.
• Present strategies for fostering open dialogue and trust between providers and patients.
