Want to learn how to help those around you? Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) teaches you how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges among adults. This course is taught by former Working Fields peer coach, Sunny Naughton, who was just named the top trainer in Vermont for the fifth year in a row.

“Substance use disorder (SUD) is one of the most stigmatized health conditions. Individuals with SUDs are subject to harsh moral judgment and frequent discrimination. These effects can prevent people who are seeking treatment or those in recovery from accessing the necessary care and support to achieve or sustain recovery.”

At Working Fields, we aim to create a stigma-free environment and foster a culture of honesty so folks are able to show up as themselves and get the support they need. If you want to learn more about what factors affect substance use disclosure, check out this article from the Addiction Policy Forum.
