Education Programs
OhioPHP believes education is fundamental in order to support the health and well-being of healthcare professionals in Ohio. We believe by providing education on burnout, resiliency, stigma of addiction and mental illness, and the appropriate ways for healthcare professionals to seek help with these concerns, we can equip individuals with the knowledge and tools to support themselves and their colleagues.
We offer educational programs about the effects of stress, burnout, mental health or substance use disorders and how a healthcare professional can access confidential services through OhioPHP. We also provide education on well-being and raising awareness about the role stigma plays in individuals declining to seek help is paramount to creating a healthy workforce.

Many, if not most, patients diagnosed with a mental health condition or substance use disorder are frequently stigmatized by the public and by their healthcare providers. The use of non-stigmatizing language regarding mental health and substance use disorders can have a very positive impact on patients suffering from these common conditions. These patients are more likely to engage in and complete treatment for behavioral health diagnoses if they are spoken to and treated as any other patient being treated for a medical condition. This presentation will review language to avoid and preferred language in clinical settings to ensure accuracy in care and a non-stigmatizing approach.
