This week's episode is a recap of some conversations from seasons 1 and 2 that highlighted the impact of addiction and mental health stigma. If you've been listening for the past year, you already know substance use disorders and mental health struggles often come hand-in-hand. Even if you haven't been listening, you probably know this from personal experience. Our goal with this podcast is to lessen the impact of stigma, have vulnerable conversations, and hopefully make it easier for someone else to ask for help. There are threads of shame and stigma which span race, gender, class, sexuality, religion, and more, which is why stigma is so insidious. Seriously, if you are having a hard time overcoming a substance, reach out to us or someone you trust.
