Addressing mental health stigma in clinical psychology
Essential Science Conversations
March 2024
Mental health stigma reduces the chance that someone will seek help, or receive adequate support, for a mental health condition. Stigma can manifest as negative attitudes, prejudice, and discrimination, which can be detrimental to the well-being and sense of hope of people who experience mental health difficulties. Somewhat paradoxically, psychologists are not immune from holding stigmatizing attitudes, which puts psychologists with lived experience of psychopathology in a precarious position when talking openly about their mental health experiences. Panelists from diverse research areas, clinical interests, and current professional roles will discuss actionable strategies that can address mental illness stigma in the clinic, the lab, the classroom, and the community.
