Webinar Description:

Stigma is complicated and there are numerous components at play that allow stigma to affect health care and social services. Power imbalances among people, in environments, and in the structure of our system create an atmosphere where stigmatizing behaviors thrive. Presenters will discuss a framework for understanding stigma, identify staff behavior that stigmatize clients and provide tools/resources that can help providers treat clients with respect, dignity, and worth.

After the webinar, participants will be better able to:

1. Describe the signs and symptoms of stigma, particularly as they relate to health care and social service provision in stigmatized fields.
2. Describe staff behaviors and environmental factors that reduce stigma as it relates to health care and social service provision in stigmatized fields.
3. Describe opportunities and next steps needed to decrease stigmatizing behaviors that impact access to care and services.
