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), a national SAMHSA-funded initiative dedicated to advancing recovery support nationwide. CARS provides training, technical assistance, and innovative resources for individuals, organizations, and institutions supporting recovery.
As a partner organization, the Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE) partners with CARS to expand technical assistance, best practices, and institutional guidance for collegiate recovery programs (CRPs). Together, we are equipping higher education institutions with the tools and expertise needed to build, sustain, and grow recovery-supportive environments on their campuses.
