Recovery Empowered Language
With Patti Heffernan (Helios Recovery Services) - Join us for a transformative two-day webinar, "Recovery Empowered Language," where participants will explore the profound impact of language on public perception of addiction and recovery. This course will equip attendees to understand how traditional terminology has contributed to stigma and shaped societal attitudes toward individuals in recovery.Through engaging discussions and interactive activities, participants will learn to identify harmful language and discover empowering alternatives that promote dignity and respect. Additionally, we will provide practical strategies that can be implemented within programs and communities to foster a person-centered mindset. By the end of this course, participants will be better equipped to advocate for change and create supportive environments for those on the journey to recovery.
Objectives (appears on the evaluation form):

- Explain how the language that is commonly used in treatment and recovery has negatively shaped public perception

- Identify the terminology that has contributed most to worsening stigma, and alternative terminology that the field could employ

- Cite specific strategies that can be used within their programs and in the community to encourage a more person-centered mindset about addiction and recovery
