Mental health stigma can be divided into two distinct types: social stigma is characterized by prejudicial attitudes and discriminating behaviour directed towards individuals with mental health problems as a result of the psychiatric label they have been given. In contrast, perceived stigma or self-stigma is the internalizing by the mental health sufferer of their perceptions of discrimination (Link, Cullen, Struening & Shrout, 1989), and perceived stigma can significantly affect feelings of shame and lead to poorer treatment outcomes (Perlick, Rosenheck, Clarkin, Sirey et al., 2001).

Legal, Clinical, Risk Management and Ethical Issues in Mental HealthJohn Gavazzi
The program outlines the fundamental differences between clinical issues, legal questions, risk management strategies, and ethical issues. While overlap exists, ethical questions arise when there are two competing ethical principles at odds. The course will reference both the ACA and the NBCC Code of Ethics. Clinical issues deal with treatment-oriented concerns. Legal issues concern state, federal, and case law, as well as statutes and regulations. Risk management typically focuses on reducing liability. Several case examples will be given to demonstrate how these issues overlap and are important to high quality of care.
There are many misconceptions about harm reduction. In this presentation, we will debunk the myths, explain what harm reduction is and provide examples of harm reduction in action throughout our province and nation. This presentation also includes how individuals can become volunteers with our agency.

Gender Dysphoria
Transgender is the term used to mean that individual sex assigned during birth based on the external genital does not fit their gender identity. These kinds of people usually experience gender dysphoria, which is one of the psychological distresses associated with the incongruence between one's gender identity and the sex they were assigned during birth. Gender dysphoria usually starts at the beginning of childhood, but in some cases, individuals may not experience it until after puberty and even much later in their stages of life. People with transgender may pursue different domains of gender affirmation, which includes: surgical affirmation, medical affirmation, legal affirmation, and social affirmation (Lindley, 2020). Not all people with transgender issues will desire to have all these domains of gender affirmation as these are highly individual and personal decisions.
Medical treatment for gender dysphoria
Medical treatments for this condition may include hormone therapy, such as masculinizing hormone therapy or feminizing hormone therapy. Surgery includes masculinizing surgery or feminizing surgery, which intends to change chest or breasts, internal genitalia, external genital, body contouring, and facial features.
Some people used hormone therapy to seek maximum masculinization or feminization. Other people find relief from gender dysphoria by using hormones to maximize secondary sex characteristics such as facial hair and breasts. These kinds of treatments are based on individuals' goals and the evaluation of the benefits and risks of the medication use, presence of any other conditions, and consideration of individual's economic and social issues (Zucker, 2018). Most of these gender dysphoria individuals find surgery the most effective and necessary procedure that relieves their condition.
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health gives the following procedure for the surgical or hormonal treatment for people with gender dysphoria.
1. Persistent and a well-documented gender dysphoria
2. The capacity to make consent and an informed decision for the treatment
3. The aged majority of a given country and when the patient is young need to follow the standard of care for the adolescents and children.
Behavioral health treatment
This treatment aims to improve the individual's psychological well-being, self-fulfillment, and quality of life. This kind of treatment does not aim to alter an individual's gender identity, but it aims to explore gender concerns and find ways to reduce gender dysphoria. The main goal.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Stigma in addiction
DEF:
◦ Dehumanization of the individual based on their social identity or participation in
a negative or an undesirable social category.
◦ Gets a lot of discussion, but what is the real impact and what can we do to
address stigma/marginalization/barriers
4. 7 Types of stigma
Public Stigma
◦ This happens when the public endorses negative stereotypes and
prejudices, resulting in discrimination towards individuals belonging to that group
Self-Stigma
◦ Self-stigma happens when a person with mental illness or substance use disorder internalizes
public stigma and develops negative thoughts, feelings, and diminished self-image resulting from
identification with the stigmatized group and anticipation of rejection from the larger society.
Perceived Stigma
◦ Stigmatized individuals think that most people believe common negative stereotypes about
individuals belonging to the same stigmatized category.
5. Types of stigma
Label Avoidance
◦ This is when a person chooses not to seek treatment to avoid being assigned a stigmatizing label.
Label avoidance is one of the most harmful forms of stigma.
Stigma By Association
◦ Stigma by association occurs when the effects of stigma are extended to someone linked to a
person with SUD or other stigmatizing disorder.
Structural Stigma
◦ Institutional policies or other societal structures that result in decreased opportunities for people
with SUD
6. Types of stigma
Health Practitioner Stigma
◦ This takes place any time a health professional allows stereotypes and prejudices about SUD to
negatively affect a patient’s care.
◦ Negative attitudes among health professionals have been found to adversely affect quality of care
and subsequent treatment outcomes.
◦ Healthcare providers often avoid discussion about SUD, in particular alcohol when assessing
depression, or other patient identified MH symptoms
◦ Benzodiazepines and SSRIs are often prescribed without assessment of SUD
7. Impact
◦ Researchers found that even highly trained substance use disorder and mental health clinicians
were significantly more likely to assign blame and believe that an individual should be subjected to
more punitive (e.g., jail sentence) rather than therapeutic measures, when the subject of a case
vignette was referred to as a “substance abuser” rather than as a “person with a substance use
disorder.” In a public perception study the term “abuse” was found to have a high association
with negative judgments and punishment.
8. Impact
◦ People with SUD are more negatively perceived than those with mental health disorder (public
stigma) due to the concept of choice in using
9. Public stigma
Reinforced by legislative initiatives and community perceptions such as :
◦ Drug testing for welfare legislation
◦ Charging women who use illicit substances while pregnant with child abuse legislation
◦ Media portrayals
◦ Funding cuts to treatment
10. Language matters
◦ The real stigma of substance use disorders - Recovery Research Institute (recoveryanswers.org)
◦ Commit to universal use of person-first and recovery-centered language*
*without minimizing client choice
11. Language examples
◦ Person-first
◦ Medication assisted treatment vs replacement therapy
◦ Substance use disorder vs abuse
Other examples?
12. other interventions
◦ Establish regular communication on addiction topics with staff and peers – do not assume other
professionals do not have bias or stigma supporting behaviors
◦ Use evidence-based educational efforts and tools to address stigma in the community.
◦ Write letters to the editor, op-ed pieces and engage in dialog with media representatives- locally,
Erin Rhoda has done a great job of educational pieces and stigma reducing articles
◦ Encourage your agencies to have legislative reviews and dialog with local state reps
13. Discussion
Other ways of reducing stigma?
How is stigma impacted by current events?
◦ In the public
◦ Within our profession
◦ Referral sources- DHHS, healthcare providers, attorneys, MH providers
