Breaking the Stigma is an addiction podcast designed, developed, supported and hosted by people with lived experience. We will talk about all things addiction, focussing on drugs and alcohol and the associated stigma that often comes along for the ride. We hope to encourage more people to talk about addiction, challenge their own beliefs and the beliefs of others and ultimately get more people seeking help. Anti stigma has come a long way with other health priorities , however it’s felt stigma towards drugs and alcohol has remained the same. So listen, learn, laugh and connect with us!
