Beyond Stigma: Bringing the Conversation About Mental Illness Forward
Mental illnesses affect one in four people each year, yet they are some of the most poorly understood and stigmatized conditions. Many mental illnesses often develop in young adulthood, when stigma and discrimination against people with these disorders can have a significant impact on their ability to seek treatment and recover. Early intervention and community support can make a positive impact toward healing and recovery. Carter Center stigma expert Rebecca Palpant Shimkets moderates a discussion with Dr. Mark McLeod, director of Emory University Counseling Services; Billy Howard, 2011-2012 Rosalynn Carter Fellow for Mental Health Journalism and Step Inside My Head creator; Alison Malmon, Active Minds founder and CEO; and Kimberly Minor, mental health advocate and president of Active Minds at Georgia Perimeter College.
