Substance Use Disorder (SUD) affects millions globally, yet stigma remains a significant barrier to seeking help. This video explores the impact of stigma on individuals with SUD, highlighting personal stories, statistics, and the cycle of substance use exacerbated by judgment. We delve into how stigma leads to isolation, discrimination, and hopelessness and how it can be broken through understanding, empathy, and support.
Join us as we discuss the importance of education, responsible media portrayal, and person-first language in dismantling stigma.
