Poll

Is stigma a problem for people with mental illness?

Yes I have experienced it.
No I have a mental illness and it hasn't happened to me.
It's part of life so we just have to put up with it.

Everyone working together to encourage and support people who experience mental health problems and/or mental illness to stay in the community, out of hospital and living a meaningful life
