Stigma can be very traumatic, you know, depending on how we show up in our practice. And when we talk about wanting individuals to come in for treatment, do we have brochures about access to substance use, treatment or mental health resources in the waiting area?
Imagine facing the challenges of substance use disorder while also dealing with the weight of trauma and societal stigma. In this compelling episode of 'Spero Health Clinical Insights', Essence Hairston, a behavioral health expert specializing in pregnant and parenting women, joins host David Hayden to discuss these very issues. They delve into how trauma and stigma can create significant barriers to seeking treatment and achieving recovery.
