Community Conversations on Opioid Use Disorder
Ending Stigma Starts with a Conversation
Registration helpful (for ordering food) but not required: https://forms.gle/rDBUCCPjgGPMhb628
Join us on June 9 for a FREE Community Conversation on Opioid Use Disorder workshop, facilitated by the University of Rochester Medicine Recovery Center of Excellence.
This is not an academic workshop about stigma. It is an interactive conversation where participants will explore:
• Stigma and how it impacts individuals and families
• How we support people with substance use disorder (SUD) and their loved ones
• How communities can work together to reduce stigma and build compassion
Who should attend? Anyone and everyone!
- Individuals with lived experience of SUD
- Family and friends of individuals with SUD
- Service providers and health care providers
- Community leaders
- Interested community members
The workshop uses powerful video interviews with people who have lived experience to spark discussion and reflection.
We hope you’ll join us for this important community conversation.

Anxious Nation Film Screening
The National Alliance on Mental Illness of Vermont (NAMI Vermont), with the support of other state community organizations, is bringing the documentary Anxious Nation (2022) to communities statewide during the fall of 2023. These screenings are free to the public thanks to a grant from the Vermont Community Foundation.
This event will feature a free screening of the documentary followed by a facilitated Q&A session. No registration necessary. The screening will take place at the Savoy Theater in downtown Montpelier. This event is offered in partnership with Elevate Youth Services, the Central Vermont Prevention Coalition, and the Montpelier Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Program.
In this film, Academy Award-winning director Vanessa Roth and first-time co-director Laura Morton thoughtfully unfold the epidemic of anxiety and explore why we are such an anxious nation. The film sets out to lift the shroud of shame around mental health while giving emotional insights into how anxiety shows up in our children’s lives, impacts families, and what parents’ contributing role may be in the journey. The filmmakers offer deep insights into how we got here and what we can do to harness anxious energy for good.
