Lunch Hour Lecture:Anti Stigma Campaigns in Mental Health-winning the battle but losing the war?
Показать описание
Speaker: Anthony David, Director of the new Institute of Mental Health at UCL
Date: Thursday 10 October 2019
Bring your lunch and your curiosity! UCL Lunch Hour Lectures, most Tuesdays and Thursdays, Darwin Lecture Theatre, 1.10 - 1.55pm
About the Lecture:
Mental illness is one of the most stigmatised areas of modern life. Recently there has been a sea-change in the public conversation around mental health including concerted anti-stigma campaigns. These include raising awareness, emphasising the ubiquity of mental health problems, changing the terminology and language of the discourse and challenging the disease status of psychiatric conditions. Is there evidence that these approaches are successful? Research reveals only modest shifts in attitudes and some authorities point to negative unintended consequences. I will discuss these issues and propose ways forward such as promoting proximity and integration and advocacy.
