< Back RECOVERY STORIES Webinars STIGMA Busting Life Unites Us! Stigma can enable shame, disgrace, and discrimination among people who are at increased risk for, experiencing, or in recovery from substance and opioid use disorders. There are three types of stigma in substance use disorder: public, self, and structural. ▪ Public or social stigma is when the general population supports stereotypes and then discriminates against individuals with a substance or opioid use disorder. ▪ Self-stigma is when individuals with a substance or opioid use disorder internalize the stereotypical messages they receive from the public, leading to feelings of shame and inadequacy. ▪ Structural stigma refers to the rules, policies, and practices of social institutions that arbitrarily restrict the rights and opportunities of people with substance or opioid use disorders. Because stigma in substance and opioid use disorders is enacted on multiple levels, it can negatively impact every aspect of the disorder and its treatment, from individual health and recovery to the provision of resources and treatment to policymaking. This site hosts a variety of content related to Penn State Harrisburg's participation in the Life Unites Us campaign, a collective effort of the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, the Public Goods Project, Shatterproof, and Penn State University. Use the images on the website to explore data indicators, survey results, county-based organizations, and webinars related to stigma and substance and opioid use disorders. About Our Webinars Our monthly webinars provide community-based organizations (CBOs), individuals, and other stakeholders with additional information, resources, and tools to reduce stigma in their local community. Each webinar topic is chosen from the expressed needs of CBOs from across the state and is developed and delivered by professionals from Penn State University, The Public Goods Projects, and Shatterproof.
