<p><em>Beyond the Label</em> is a compilation of resources focused on the stigma (prejudice and discrimination) associated with having concurrent mental health and substance use problems.</p>

<p>The purpose of the binder is to provide a framework for people who provide mental health and substance use services to examine their own prejudices or misconceptions—and to use the teaching tools in the kit to reach a variety of other relevant audiences.

<li>present positive stories showing people who have experienced concurrent mental health and substance use problems contributing to society</li>

<li>present solution-focused approaches</li>
