Stigma and Resilience, Attachment-Based Family Intervention, and Drug Interactions

Many young people face stigma and discrimination based on their identities, life experiences or health conditions and, as a result, face health inequities. In this presentation, learn how stigma "gets under the skin" to affect health, and how environments, relationships, policies and specific interventions can help prevent or reduce the negative health effects of stigma and foster resilience and well-being. Also, explore the steps behind the journey of a drug through the body (pharmacokinetics) and how drugs cause pharmacological effects (pharmacodynamics). Participants will learn how each of these processes may be altered by another drug, food or supplement.
