Reducing Perinatal Substance Use Disorder Stigma Through Cross-Sector Collaboration

Stigma remains a significant challenge to addressing perinatal substance use disorders (SUD) effectively. This training identifies and defines three types of stigma—self, social, and structural—and examines their impacts on individuals and systems.
