Episode 5: What's Stigma Got To Do With It

Guests:

• Kimberly Sharp RN – Director of Pain Management with Community Health Network. Kimberly works within her organization and with groups such as the Indianapolis Patient Safety Coalition on improving pain management care as it intersects with the disease of substance use disorder. She passionately advocates for people who are stigmatized because of their disease in hopes that one day they can simply be seen as people first. Kimberly also serves as the chairman of the executive board for the Beech Grove Comprehensive Drug Free Coalition.
• Kati Muller is in long-term recovery and is a stay-at-home mother to her 4 ½ year old daughter. She has been a part of a stigma training program and hopes to do more training in the future. Kati and her daughter enjoy tie dying and have an online store on Etsy.
