Rationale
Mental health—and its antithesis, mental illness—is a critical issue in our society today. It affects not only the happiness, productivity and well being of the individuals who struggle with mental health issues, but that of family, friends, coworkers and others who interact with them.
The costs measure not only in emotional terms, but in hard dollars as mental health issues touch all of society.
Our core program, Communicators for Mental HealthSM, was developed from the identification in our study, from a professional orientation, of:
n The forms of mental illness stigma
n The rationale for the stigmatization by society at all levels
n Some of the resulting tragic costs
n A solid set of strategies that can be used by professional communicators and mental health professionals to combat stigma
