Nexus Module

Stay tuned for Nexus in 2024!

This free e-learning education covers the nexus of chronic pain, trauma, violence, and substance use stigma.

Nexus invites health care and social service providers to:

  • consider the intersections of trauma, violence, substance use stigma, and chronic pain;
  • reflect on your own assumptions and potential for biases; 
  • consider the perspectives of people experiencing both substance use stigma and pain; and
  • bring a structural lens to understanding wellbeing in the workplace

The Nexus Module has 7 sections, with embedded videos, case-based activities, interactive quizzes, and links to further resources throughout. After completing unit 7, successfully completing a brief assessment will provide a Certificate of Completion.
