Are you interested to do something to decrease the stigma surrounding mental illness?
Mental Health Advocacy is a movement that aims to:
1. Promote the well-being of individuals diagnosed with mental disorders;
2. Reduce discrimination and stigmatisation;
3. Uphold the rights of individuals diagnosed with mental disorders; and
4. Assist individuals diagnosed with a mental disorder to be productive members of the community.
If you are a supporter of the aims of mental health advocacy then please go to http://psychdev.anu.edu.au/_special/Mental_Health_Advocacy_Movement.asp to join a forum and share your views with others who have similar beliefs!
