Evidence-Based Stigma Reduction
Three forces that help diminish stigma
Stigma is not reduced by information alone. Stronger approaches combine accurate understanding, meaningful human connection, and practical ways of responding with dignity.
Accurate Understanding
Clear, honest education can correct myths and reduce fear about serious mental illness, substance use, and chronic illness.
Human Connection
Respectful contact, lived-experience stories, and shared humanity can reduce social distance and challenge stereotypes.
Supportive Skills
Person-first language, empathy, reflection, and practical response skills help people act with greater respect and dignity.
