Have your say: Consultations on options for nationally-coordinated strategy to reduce stigma
Priority Area 6 of the 5th National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Plan involves the reduction of stigma towards people with mental illness that is poorly understood in the community.
A research team at the Centre for Mental Health, University of Melbourne has been funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health to conduct a research project that aims to identify, review and analyse available data on programs run by Australian organisations that focus on reducing stigma towards people with mental illness, with a particular focus on schizophrenia, psychosis, bipolar disorder and personality disorders. This will assist with recommendations to inform national policy on the reduction of stigma and discrimination.
If your organisation runs anti-stigma programs and would like to participate, you will be asked to provide details about these programs. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Our review of programs will inform future consultations on options for a nationally coordinated stigma-reduction strategy.
