Course Overview
Course description:
Session starts with an overview of the types of stigma and how stigma moves beyond the target to affect others within his/her orbit. Session then provides a review of how stigma is used, and explanation of the cycle of stigma is provided. The session discusses how illnesses can exacerbate stigma, and transitions to a discussion and brief video of implicit bias. Video and discussion drills into the impact of bias, the need for cultural competence and humility, and the importance of recovery-oriented language when engaging with individuals. Session continues by briefly exploring the positive impact that trauma informed, strengths based, person centered approaches have on improving the quality of care. The session finishes with several strategies to rapidly identify and reduce stigma within the organization and staff. Strategies include language audit, getting beyond bias, a resource to perform bias self-checks, the role of policy makers, and what individuals can do to deconstruct, reduce, and eliminate stigma consistently.
