SUMMARY:Words Matter: Stigma and Language in the OTP Context
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a thought-provoking webinar with Andrea Macone (BSAS) and Michael Jellison (MGH)  as they explore how the language we use shapes public perceptions of substance use and recovery. Through real-world examples and open discussion\, the speakers will address key questions such as: \n\nWhy do words matter?\nIn what situations can they matter most?\nAre there times you would adjust your language depending on the audience?\nWhat are some practical action steps for staff at Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs)?\n\nBy the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the impact of language in framing what the public thinks about substance use and recovery\nGive examples of alternatives to stigmatizing language\nGet answers to questions about how to discuss substance use with your community using an affirming and strengths-based approach
