New resource launched: Stigma posters
We’ve collaborated with the Alcohol and Drug Foundation on a new series of downloadable posters to encourage the use of inclusive and person-centred language to reduce the impact of stigma for people who use AOD.
The fact is that alcohol and other drug dependence are some of the most stigmatised health conditions globally.
Stigma can prevent people from seeking help or delay them from getting help until their needs are critical. But by using – and encouraging – welcoming, inclusive and person-centred language in everyday conversations, you can reduce the impact of stigma.
There are three posters in the series for audiences including health professionals and family and friends of people who use AOD.
The more people help to reduce stigma, the bigger the impact.
