In many stigma videos, the person talks about their run-in with mental illness stigma; their personal experience with stigma and discrimination just because they have a mental illness. In these stigma videos for the Stand Up for Mental Health campaign, people focus on one of two themes:
- Was there a time when mental health stigma prevented you from disclosing that you had a mental illness?
- Why did you publicly disclose your mental health condition and what was the impact of that?
Watch the stigma videos. If you're inspired, please join the Stand Up for Mental Health campaign and tell others about it. And if you would like to contribute your stigma video, here's how.
