What people are saying

I feel that anyone in my profession should understand that addiction is just as much as problem as heart disease, diabetes, and HIV. I think it is important to understand that even though this was not taught anywhere in nursing school that this major problem does exist and is affecting many.

Registered Nurse (RN)

In the past when I thought about stigma and addiction, I typically thought about how another person (family member, neighbor) stigmatize someone with this disease. I now have a better understanding of how stigma from other areas of one's life (medical communities, law enforcement, etc.) affects someone with this disease and creates a barrier for recovery.

Nurse Practitioner

This was a very eye opening course as to how childhood trauma not only affects our behavior but our health outcomes and chronic conditions directly. This is a true public health threat that needs to be addressed with education and concern placed on early intervention.

20-Credit Certificate Student - Healthcare Professional

I think anyone in my profession should understand not only the shame and stigma around substance use disorders, but also how important understanding the disease of addiction is. I think this is important because as healthcare providers, we can help implement harm reduction strategies in our field, help prevent accidental overdose, and allow more people to get the help that they need and deserve.
