Challenging Mental Health Stigma & Discrimination

This course will explore mental health stigma and identify ways you can challenge stigma in your community or organisation. Mental Health stigma and discrimination prevent people from seeking help: this can delay treatment and impair recovery. It isolates people, excluding them from day-to-day activities and making it hard to build new relationships or sustain current ones. It can stop people getting or keeping jobs.

Experiencing a mental health condition is hard enough, without having to deal with the shame and isolation that often comes with it. The aim of this workshop is to develop Champions’ skills, knowledge, understanding and confidence to challenge mental health stigma and discrimination.

This course is 3 hours in duration.
