    This workshop will include both didactic and interactive opportunities for participants to learn about heroin addiction and recovery. Presenters will share personal stories and examples from professional practice that illustrate the challenges faced by individuals and families in navigating the recovery process.  Participants will learn to define stigma and describe how it affects entry into treatment; identify language that contributes to stigma; describe access to and availability of treatment options as challenges facing families; and describe case management and how it can help in overcoming obstacles facing individuals and families in recovery.
