When it comes to creating recovery-ready communities, we can all be change agents in our organizations, agencies, and communities. The words we use and the actions we take have the ability to help, heal, hinder, or hurt people on their paths in recovery. This program will explore the impact of stigma on people in and seeking recovery from substance use disorder; and identify concrete ways to adopt language and take actions to align with and support the development of recovery oriented language, recovery oriented care, and recovery capital in ourselves, our organizations, and our communities.
