Handling Mental Health Stigma

Stigma: it’s the persistent force present in many workplaces and communities that tells those with mental health challenges that they’re weak, defective, or they don’t belong. But there are strategies anyone can use to fight stigma and foster acceptance throughout their community. In this course, we’ll look at how mental health stigma impacts those who struggle with mental health challenges, and even ripples out to affect their families and communities. We’ll then look at ways you can help yourself or a loved one cope with mental health stigma. Finally, we’ll explore ways we can all work together to foster an open dialogue and promote acceptance around mental health. After this course, you’ll have the tools to fight back against mental health stigma.
