The Anti-Stigma Framework

The Anti-Stigma Framework is a structured approach to reducing negative attitudes and beliefs about mental health. It focuses on three key areas: increasing public awareness to challenge misconceptions, encouraging positive interactions to build understanding, and promoting policies that protect against discrimination. By addressing these areas, the framework aims to change societal perceptions, foster acceptance, and support individuals with mental health conditions in receiving respectful treatment and equal opportunities. It provides a systematic way to combat stigma, improving mental health outcomes and creating more inclusive communities.
