The “Stop Judging; Start Healing Stigma Summit 2023” features speaker Ryan Leaf, a former college and NFL football quarterback whose substance misuse led to jail time and, ultimately, a career inspiring others to seek treatment. The in-person event is designed for physicians, certified registered nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives, physician assistants, pharmacists, dentists, social workers, counselors, educators, first responders, attorneys, judges and others whose work intersects with substance use disorders. Breakout sessions will offer tracks for healthcare professionals and those working in the criminal justice system.
