Join us for this month's UNSHAME KY webinar on advocacy strategies to promote treatment, support, and compassion for those affected by substance use disorder. Tara Hyde, CEO of People Advocating Recovery, will provide a brief overview of Kentucky's policy landscape related to substance use disorder; growing support for harm reduction efforts; and opportunities to use your voice to promote a widespread understanding that long-term recovery is an achievable reality and a process that requires time and support. By sharing your experiences in a compelling way and rallying your community around a custom policy agenda, we can increase access to effective, evidence-based addiction prevention, treatment, recovery, and research programs.

Learning Objectives: In this month's webinar, we will:

• Review federal and state laws around substance use disorder
• Identify strategies to build an advocacy coalition through partnerships and shared policy agendas
• Connect attendees with resources on harm reduction care models, language trainings, & educational materials
