Session Description:
Millions of people across the United States are impacted by mental health and substance use concerns.Despite the growing awareness about these concerns, misinformation and stigma surrounding these conditions present barriers to changing outcomes for prevention, treatment, and recovery. As education can be an antidote for misinformation and harmful stigmas, Purdue Extension developed an introductory educational resource called the Substance Use Education Video Series. This presentation will describe the series development process and ways that Extension professionals can share its resources with their communities.
