This webinar introduces A Provider’s Pathway to Supporting Patients with Substance Use Disorder, an educational experience designed to shift provider attitudes and promote compassionate, person‑centered care. Drawing on data from the Shatterproof Addiction Stigma Index (SASI) and related research, participants will explore how stigma appears in healthcare settings and affects patient health outcomes. Attendees will reflect and examine evidence‑based strategies that reduce stigma and strengthen clinical practice.
