QuIHN’s lived experience facilitators provide a comprehensive deep dive into stigma & discrimination toward people who inject drugs. Using real life insights and interactive discussions, this workshop aims to improve health outcomes for people who use drugs within health & community settings. Learn where stigma comes from, explore our attitudes toward substance use and people who use substances, how stigma manifests, and how to challenge and reduce stigma.
