⭐ ‘Tis the season to take care ⭐

With the festive season being a time where alcohol and drugs may be used more than usual, it’s important to remember that everyone’s tolerance is different.

Staying safer this season means:
⏳ Going at your own pace
🙅 Not feeling pressured to drink or use
🚫 Saying no when something doesn’t feel right
💙 Listening to your body’s warning signs

Tackling stigma starts with knowledge and understanding 🧠💙

Our colleagues at Hep C U Later have created a CPD-accredited training module on hepatitis C and stigma, which was co-produced with people who have lived experience of hepatitis C.

Within this 30-minute training module, people tell their stories of stigma, the impact it has had and importantly, they tell professionals what they need to do to tackle stigma.

This we're discussing an important topic: Stigma

Stigma can be harmful, and everyone can play a part in stigma without even realising it, the important thing is finding ways to overcome it.

Q: How can we challenge stigma around substance use?

A:
📖 Increasing education and awareness and encouraging open conversations.
🗨️ Think before you speak and choose your words considerately.
💡 Awareness of our own behaviours, and others.
🪞 Reflecting on your own biases, either conscious or unconscious, as a team, in supervision or individually.
