A new animation has been launched to highlight what stigma is and how it can impact on people. This follows on from a conference, held in 2023, which explored the link between stigma, trauma, abuse and substance use. The Public Health Team at Newcastle City Council led on the development of the animation on a multi-agency basis, including with our safeguarding partnerships.
