On May 31st, an estimated 100 providers and staff from Southern New Hampshire Health and Elliot Health System participated in SolutionHealth’s education program “From Stigma To Action: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Addressing Substance Use Disorder.” SolutionHealth’s latest in a series of CME programs was designed to help clinical providers and staff throughout the system understand added burden that stigma adds to individuals struggling with substance use disorders. The program featured presentations and discussion among providers and patients familiar with challenges and strategies to support treatment of patients through medication assisted treatment and other therapies.
