Public mental health stigma is pervasive and has many negative impacts. One consequence is that it can lead to self-stigma among mental health service users, including people with severe mental illness. This webinar will discuss how self-stigma can impact identity development of service users and will share ways that mental health staff can help combat mental health stigma.
