Dealing with the Elephant in the Room: How can we actually reduce stigma in emergency care?
20 Aug 2026, 12:00 pmCA Bridge: Bridging the Gap

Anyone working in substance use care knows the frustration of systemic and personal stigma—it’s the ultimate barrier standing between patients and evidence-based care. We talk about it, but how do we actually fix it?
Join us as we explore the root causes of stigma to identify tangible ways to dismantle it. We will also hear from champions at CommonSpirit Health about their real-world experience taking on stigma across their hospitals.
Featured speakers:
