Webinar: Rewriting the Narrative on Addiction using Storytelling & Person-First Language

Creating a more compassionate space for individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) starts by addressing harmful biases and beliefs surrounding addiction. Join us for our first Georgia Recovers webinar as our speakers, Steve Delisi, MD, and Brian Kite, participate in a fireside chat where they'll examine how stereotypes and judgment hinder recovery and discourage seeking help, provide practical knowledge and tools for reframing the narrative around the disease of addiction, including the power of person-first language, and explore how to transform lived experience into recovery messaging that can be shared to promote understanding and challenge societal misconceptions. This programming is tailored towards community leaders, healthcare providers, and anyone interested in building a knowledge base on the damaging impact of stigma on individuals struggling with addiction and their loved ones. #GARecovers #GARecoversTogether
