Learn About Stigma

This presentation and facilitated discussion is a great place to start for any group looking to increase inclusion, support and hope for people living with mental health and substance use challenges. WISE trainers lead the presentation or train your staff to do it themselves. We can adapt this training to specific contexts such as schools, workplaces, healthcare, etc.
