More than one in five American adults live with a mental health condition, but only about half receive treatment. This course explores how stigma—the judgmental attitudes, stereotypes, and discrimination—prevents people from seeking the help they need. You'll learn how stigmatizing language impacts those with mental health conditions and discover practical ways to challenge stereotypes, educate others, and promote more inclusive conversations. By understanding how to destigmatize mental health, you'll help create an environment where everyone feels respected and supported.
