Working with People Who Use Drugs: Understanding Stigma
This online training will provide participants with an introduction to the principles of harm reduction both as a philosophy and a practical approach to our work, focusing particularly on its role in helping understand the impact and consequences of drug related stigma. Recognizing that not everyone is ready or able to stop risky behavior, harm reduction focuses on promoting ways to reduce the health risks associated with drug use and other high risk behaviors.
This training will assist providers working in diverse settings in defining stigma by identifying the barriers it presents to developing meaningful relationships with clients in order to more effectively engage them in a range of interventions to reduce the risk of harm while exploring conceptual and practical tools to challenge stigma and support drug users’ needs.
Learning objectives: By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
Explore the definition of stigma and stigma conceptually/in practice
Identify three ways in which people that use drugs experience stigma and discrimination.
Identify two consequences of drug-related stigma and discrimination when accessing services.
Define three key principles of harm reduction.
Please note that much of the information in the introduction and closing can be disregarded when viewing this course as a recording. For purpose of CE’s, use the post-test, rather than the code described in the video.
