Within the mental health and substance abuse communities, a very real and powerful phenomenon is at work. It can damage therapeutic, professional, and personal relationships, threaten the effectiveness of services and treatment, and often keeps people from seeking the help they need. That phenomenon is stigma.

The interactive workshop, Stigma…in Our Work, in Our Lives is designed to reduce stigmatizing attitudes, behaviors, and practices within the mental health and substance abuse communities.

Through a variety of learning approaches, you will:
Identify stigmatizing attitudes and behaviors and discuss their impact on the design, delivery and receipt of services
  • Examine the impact of stigma on the lives of mental health professionals, family members, and consumers
  • Formulate a plan to combat stigma
  • Talk, listen and learn in a comfortable atmosphere


This workshop is free of charge, but pre-registration is required. For more information or to sign up, contact Susan Still, Director of Development at Arundel Lodge, at 443-433-5900 or sstill@arundellodge.org

This workshop is co-sponsored by Arundel Lodge, Inc. and NAMI-Anne Arundel
