A JLUSA Course: Addressing the Stigma around Substance Use Disorders
Substance use disorders are some of the most highly stigmatized health conditions worldwide. Stigma creates barriers to healthcare and leads to lower engagement and retention in addiction treatment.
This course was developed by JCOIN and JustLeadershipUSA (JLUSA) to help educate individuals involved with the criminal justice system on the latest research and innovations around addiction and criminal justice stigma. The course takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, and features leading experts on stigma within the SUD and criminal justice fields.
This course is sponsored by the Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network (JCOIN), an initiative funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
