When we need support with our health, most of us do not expect to navigate barriers or to be judged for asking for help. This, however, is often not the case for millions of people living in Canada, for whom the harmful effects of stigma related to substance use can make it hard for them to ask for and receive support.

CAPSA collaborates with organizations, communities and systems to raise awareness of substance use stigma, to remove systemic barriers and to improve everyone’s substance use health.

In just 15 minutes, our microlearning digital modules share effective evidence-based tools, information and resources for health care providers, family and friends of people who use substances, and anyone interested in improving their wellness while using substances.
