Cultural Humility Training
November 2 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
The Alliance for Positive Health‘s Cultural Humility Training is a judgement-free, educational workshop investigating the best practices for interacting with and engaging with people who use drugs. This training will be followed by an Community Overdose Response Training at 2pm.
During this 60-minute workshop, we discuss how drugs work in the brain, why people use substances, and how to use accurate and stigma-free language to talk about substance use. We also investigate stigma that exists around substance use, the harm that stigma causes, and how to best work against systemic, institutional, and individual stigma. This training is perfect for anyone looking to deepen their ability to talk about and address substance use.
