2018 Stop the Stigma position paper
Summary
This short position document sets out why we have to change our language, change our mindsets and re-think the way we treat and regard people who use drugs. We have to tackle stigma if we want to help people recover and reduce the damage of drugs in our communities. In this report, we set out our seven key position statements, with evidence from the focus groups and the other three research documents. We then set out how we believe stigma can be tackled.
