We are our disease, we are a person first. We have to have someone sometimes that will help point out when we don't use the right language, because none of us are perfect.
Ever felt judged for something beyond your control? In this compelling episode of 'Beyond Substance', Kimberly Sharp RN and Kati Muller tackle the heavy burden of stigma surrounding substance use disorder. Kimberly, a dedicated Director of Pain Management, works tirelessly to improve care for those often marginalized due to their condition. Her passion shines through as she shares her efforts within the Community Health Network and the Indianapolis Patient Safety Coalition.
Kati, on the other hand, brings a deeply personal perspective. As a mother in long-term recovery, she opens up about her journey and the stigmatizing experiences she faced. Together, they discuss how language and perception can either uplift or hinder those battling substance use disorder. They also delve into the broader societal impact of stigma and the urgent need for public education.
With a mix of professional insights and heartfelt stories, this episode is a powerful reminder that behind every label is a person deserving of empathy and support. Tune in to hear their stories and learn how we can all play a part in breaking down these harmful barriers.
