How can we fight stigma?

Name Stigma

We aim to raise awareness of stigma and prejudice created by stigmatising language, depictions, policies and approaches. We want to celebrate anti-stigma practice.

We aim to build understanding of how stigma impacts people’s lives and creates barriers to health and wellbeing. We share inclusive practices that promote a common understanding.
