In this new episode, Essence Hairston, who specializes in behavioral health in the pregnant and parenting women population at Horizons Program at the University of North Carolina, speaks with host, SVP of Clinical Services David Hayden on how stigma and trauma can negatively impact the ability to seek treatment and to be successful in recovery. Essence discusses the importance of creating positive patient experiences so that it offers the best chance to achieve good outcomes. She gives suggestions on what providers can do to create a safe, respectful and welcoming environment, and the difference that makes in helping a patient feel a sense of belonging to create better engagement and connectivity to services.
