Hear Me: Stories to Challenge OUD Stigma - Series Summary: In this series, we amplify the voices of individuals who have navigated the healthcare system while facing stigma related to opioid use, race, identity, pregnancy, and trauma. Through raw, personal narratives like Joey's and Kshe's (KAY-she), you are invited to listen deeply — not only to the stories , but also to the systemic challenges and human truths they reveal. These short, powerful episodes are a call to action: to reflect, to empathize, and to change. Because compassionate care begins when we choose to hear. Episode: Kshe's Story: Pregnancy, Substance Use and the Power of Compassionate Care Featuring:  Kshe Bernard Valery Shuman, ATR-BC, LCPC, Co-Founder, Sana Healing Collective Summary: Faced with judgment and fear during her pregnancy, Kshe (KAY-she) found hope in one provider's compassion—her story is a powerful reminder that empathy in medicine can change lives. As You Listen to Kshe's Story, Consider: How does stigma impact the willingness of pregnant individuals with SUD to seek medical care? What assumptions might you hold—consciously or unconsciously—about people who use drugs while pregnant? How can you integrate trauma-informed, compassionate care into your practice? Kshe's story highlights the life-changing impact of compassionate care. As a healthcare clinician, your approach matters. How you speak to, treat, and engage with patients can either serve as a barrier or as a bridge to care. Consider what changes you can make in your practice—whether through language, policy advocacy, or patient interactions—to help dismantle stigma and foster trust. Compassion isn't just an ideal—it's an intervention. How will you use it?

Joey's story reveals how stigma at the intersection of race, sexuality, and substance use can create invisible barriers that healthcare clinicians have the power to break. As you listen to Joey's story, we encourage you to: Reflect on Bias: Consider how stigma—both personal and systemic—may shape Joey's experiences in healthcare and affect his willingness to seek care. Recognize the Power of Small Interactions: The way you communicate—your tone, body language, and choice of words—can either build trust or reinforce fear and avoidance. Commit to Change: Identify one action you can take to create a more welcoming, nonjudgmental environment for patients facing similar barriers. Joey's story is just one example of how stigma can create barriers to care. As a healthcare clinician, you have the power to change that. Take a moment to reflect—what's one small shift you can make in your language, your approach, or your clinical environment to ensure patients like Joey feel safe, heard, and respected? Reducing stigma starts with awareness, but real change happens through action. We encourage you to commit to one tangible change today that will help foster trust and compassion in your practice.
