Participants who attended the ROTA-R Food, Mood, and Substance Use Symposium were invited to attend an online follow-up consultation. At this consultation session several speakers from the symposium were available to answer questions regarding: the role of trauma, physical health, emotional regulation, and healing play a significant role in treatment and recovery services, how stigma for people who use substances and/or are in treatment/recovery services creates barriers, utilizing motivational interviewing strategies to increase engagement, and how to address stigma and bias in drug poisoning in prevention. Participants were able to directly ask questions of consultants and/or share activities implemented in their rural communities’ post symposium.
*This event was by invitation only.
