What is Stigma in Polysubstance Use? | Presbyterian Healthcare Services

Stigma is a mark of disgrace or shame that often appears as judgment, discrimination, and isolation, especially with polysubstance use. This stigma prevents people from seeking help and accessing the treatment they deserve. Breaking stigma is crucial for fostering understanding, compassion, and support. By doing so, we create a safe environment where individuals feel empowered to seek help without fear of judgment or rejection. Join us in breaking the stigma and supporting those struggling with polysubstance use. Watch this video to learn how we can change perceptions and provide necessary support.
