This term’s Access, Belonging, and Connection speaker will be addressing stigma. Now, as members of our profession we are all too familiar with stigma. Stigma from outside of recovery or harm reduction work throws up many roadblocks in our attempts to advocate, create programming, or even exist on campuses. But what about stigma we carry within our profession or our own personal recovery journeys? How do these forces interfere with our mission to champion recovery in collegiate settings and create cultures which are recovery affirming? These are the points I hope we all get to explore with Dr. Witte throughout her talk, “Stigma and Substance Use: Building Bridges Not Walls.”
The Compassionate Care Strategies speaker series will take place on Thursdays at 12pm ET on the 2nd Thursday of the month!
This programming was made possible by The Center for Addiction Recovery Support (CARS). The Center for Addiction Recovery Support (CARS) is a national initiative dedicated to strengthening recovery ecosystems by providing technical assistance, training, and innovative resources to support individuals in recovery.
As a strategic partner organization, the Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE) collaborates with CARS to expand technical assistance, best practices, and institutional guidance for collegiate recovery programs (CRPs). This partnership ensures that higher education institutions receive the tools and expertise needed to build, sustain, and grow recovery-supportive environments on their campuses.
