SUMMARY:Community Conversation on Substance Use and Stigma
DESCRIPTION:Dinner provided! REGISTER through Healing Cortland HERE. \nThis workshop will use portraits of volunteers in rural communities who have been affected by opioid use disorder as a creative way to educate\, change beliefs\, and reinforce the positive messages conveyed in the artwork. Through this workshop\, participants will examine the definition and impact of opioid use disorder stigma on their rural community and will identify ways to reduce stigma\, biases\, and negative perceptions around recovery. Participants will increase their understanding of resources and tools available in combating stigma and supporting those who use drugs and/or in recovery.\n\nParticipants will: \n\nCreate a common definition of stigma and recognize its impact on individuals\, families\, providers\, and their rural community\nExplore negative and positive beliefs around opioid use disorder and recovery\nIdentify ways to overcome barriers and challenges to addressing stigma and to operationalize a recovery-oriented approach to reducing stigma\nReview support resources and build on relationships of participants within the workshop to learn from\, and use as a resource\, to reduce stigma in their rural\n\nPlease note: This is not an academic workshop about stigma. It is a conversation for participants to explore stigma\, how we support people with Substance Use Disorder (SUD)and their families\, and how we work together in our community to reduce stigma. We use portraits and videos to facilitate discussion\, making it very interactive. \nFor more information and to learn about the Healing Cortland project\, visit https://healingcortland.org/. \n

This documentary film features many of the heroes of the world working to solve the world’s plastic and environmental issues. \nNot rated (Common Sense Media says it’s for ages 10+) \nRuntime: 100 minutes. \nRegistration not required.

SUMMARY:Community Read Book Discussion: "A Place Called Home" w/ CAPCO\, Cortland LGBTQ Center\, and Hillside
DESCRIPTION:Pick up a free copy of A Place Called Home: A Memoir\, by David Ambroz at Cortland Free Library\, then join us for this in-person discussion on Saturday\, April 29 with our community partners\, Cortland LGBTQ Center\, CAPCO\, and Hillside/Cortland County Foster Parent Training/Recruiting. \nAbout the Book: \nAs a child\, David Ambroz was raised homeless in New York City\, the home of Wall Street and more than 100\,000 homeless children. For David and his two siblings\, their mother’s diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia sets them in motion for a life of poverty\, violence and instability as they travel across New York and New England seeking shelter. For eleven years\, home for David means living in train stations\, subway cars\, 24-hour diners\, and wherever is safe and warm; bathing in public restrooms; and stealing food to quell his hunger. \nWhen he gets into foster care\, it feels like salvation\, but it soon proves to be just as unsafe for young people–more of his foster siblings are put on a prison pipeline than college-bound. Surmounting violence\, continued poverty and physical and emotional abuse at the hands of his caregivers\, David harnesses an inner grit to escape the inevitable outcome for kids like him. He takes shelter and finds hope on his own in libraries\, schools\, and in the occasional adult angel. Through hard work and unwavering resolve\, he is able to get into Vassar College\, the first significant step out from the yolk of poverty\, and later graduates UCLA School of Law. \nThis heart-wrenching and inspiring story about young people pulls back the curtain on homelessness and poverty in the lives of children and shines a pivotal light on generations of kids that have been systematically ignored and overlooked. A Place Called Home is both David’s powerful personal account through the lens of a child surviving it daily. And as the go-to child welfare advocate for the Obama administration and major U.S. companies\, A Place Called Home is a beckoning call to our national conscience to move from pity to action.
