Repères parentaux - EP21 - Le spectre de l'utilisation de substances et la stigmatisation

Substance use health concerns us all, and the spectrum of use is a valuable tool for starting conversations with our youth. In this episode, we explore how this concept helps us understand substance use patterns, meet people where they are, and foster compassionate dialogue. We also discuss stigma, a major barrier to seeking help, and ways to reduce it. The goal: to create a safe and open environment where young people can talk and get the support they need.
