The Power of Words; How our language can help or hurt
those with mental health or substance use disorders
Join us for this FREE virtual training generously provided by the Montgomery County ADAMHS board.
Stigma associated with mental health and substance use disorders often prevents those who need help
from seeking it out or sharing their story.  Learn how our everyday language can support and empower
others to be Stigma Free.  We will share practical ways we can both demonstrate this and educate
others.
What will you learn?
•             Definition & cause of stigma
•             The impacts and consequences stigma have on those with mental illness and/or addiction
•             Common myths and misperceptions of mental illness and addiction
•             Strategies to decrease stigma
