The Anti-Stigma Network has been created by a group of organisations coming together with a shared mission.

Hooker, S. A., Crain, A. L., LaFrance, A. B., Kane, S., Fokuo, J. K., Bart, G., & Rossom, R. C. (2023). A randomized controlled trial of an intervention to reduce stigma toward people with opioid use disorder among primary care clinicians. Addiction Science & Clinical Practice, 18(1), 1-10.
Abstract
Background
Many primary care clinicians (PCCs) hold stigma toward people with opioid use disorder (OUD), which may be a barrier to care. Few interventions exist to address PCC stigma toward people with OUD. This study examined whether an online training incorporating patient narratives reduced PCCs’ stigma toward people with OUD (primary) and increased intentions to treat people with OUD compared to an attention-control training (secondary).
Methods
PCCs from 15 primary care clinics were invited to complete a 30 min online training for an electronic health record-embedded...

Работники здравоохранения во всем мире поднялись на требования лечения пациентов с COVID-19, что потенциально сопряжено со значительными издержками для их собственного здоровья и благополучия. Растет признание потенциального воздействия COVID-19 на психическое здоровье работников на переднем крае и призывы оказывать им психосоциальную поддержку. Тем не менее, до сих пор мало внимания уделялось пониманию влияния работы над пандемией с собственной точки зрения работников здравоохранения или их взглядов на поддержку.

In this blog post and guide, Dr. Stephen Parkin shares his observations about the use of stigmatising words and phrases in academic writing, and offers a list of person-centred and pragmatic alternatives.
The need to change our language in relation to people who use drugs has become an increasing topic of discussion, but there is still a long way to go. People who use drugs are highly diverse and their relationship with drug use takes many different forms. Current prohibitionist approaches to drug use and ‘war on drugs’ rhetoric do little to encourage language that acknowledges this diversity. Instead, it promotes and maintains negative stereotypes that construct people who use drugs as morally flawed, inferior, unreliable, and dangerous.
Language does not standstill. It is dynamic, and the...

Stigma among healthcare providers is a barrier to the effective delivery of mental health services in primary care. Few studies have been conducted in primary care settings comparing the attitudes of healthcare providers and experiences of people with mental illness who are service users in those facilities. Such research is necessary across diverse global settings to characterize stigma and inform effective stigma reduction.
Qualitative research was conducted on mental illness stigma in primary care settings in one low-income country (Nepal), two lower-middle income countries (India...
Stigma is a major barrier to the well-being and recovery of people with lived and living experience of substance use disorders.
This animated video about two friends, Alex and Sam, explores the devastating impact of substance use stigma and how to challenge it in our communities.
Drawing on themes from CCSA’s qualitative research on stigma, “My Journey Starts with Compassion” tells a story about friendship, kindness and changing negative perceptions of people who use substances.

Drug-related deaths can result in complex emotional turmoil for family members who are going through a grieving process at the same time as often experiencing a level of stigma.
Despite the high frequency of drug-related deaths worldwide, there is a need for knowledge around how the bereaved deal with grief and the nature and the implication of stigma surrounding a drug-related death.
This article, published in the journal of Addiction Research and Theory, gathers the views of 225 parents, siblings, children, partners, other family members and close friends on their experience of...
Stigma is one of the biggest barriers people face when seeking care for substance use disorders. Designed for members of the law enforcement community, this webinar explored the relationship between substance use, the brain and mental health, and how stigma can be a barrier to accessing and receiving care.
Panelists also discussed the impact stigma has on people who use substances, their families and communities.
