Stigma strikes in three dimensions: (1) social - how people interact with each other, (2) structural - embedded in laws and policies, and (3) individual - the ways we think. We know the stigma around mental health and substance use disorders causes untold suffering and even takes lives. Stop Stigma Together is a national social movement that is bringing together hundreds of organizations large and small across the country and across all populations. We are working closely with the Ad Council having launched the Love, Your Mind campaign in 2023. Come and learn what we are doing, who is involved, and how you can participate.
Learning Objectives:
Articulate the three dimensions of stigma and why they are important to address
Apply the principles of a Grand Challenge to the problems they are tackling
