Break the Bias

Past event
Jul 24, 2024, 6 to 7 PM

Awareness of the hostility that other people feel can lead people with addictions and other mental illnesses to avoid seeking help. Join us at the Springfield Town Library as we Break the Bias, an empowering event to de-stigmatize addiction, featuring firsthand accounts from individuals who have faced shame due to their addiction and disability.

Participants will watch a short video and hear from community members, both in person and through anonymous writings, with facilitation by pattrice jones of VINE Sanctuary. This event, part of a series by VINE Sanctuary for Disability Pride Month, and in collaboration with the Springfield Library, aims to foster understanding and compassion.

This event is free and open to the public.
