Mental Health & COVID-19 webinar series: Effective Approaches to Tackling Mental Health Stigma and Discrimination and Related Fields

online

The Lancet Psychiatry, Mental Health Innovation Network, MHPSS.net and United for Global Mental Health have launched a series of weekly webinars designed to provide policy makers and the wider health community with the latest evidence on the impact of COVID-19 on mental health and how to address it.

The webinars provide practical solutions to the challenging issues we are all grappling with. Participants are encouraged to join from around the world, including those with lived experience of mental health and of COVID-19.

Questions can be submitted in advance by email. The sessions are recorded, and summary notes produced. All previous recordings can be found here. Any questions please contact: COVID19seminars@unitedgmh.org.

Reducing stigma is critically important to improving the lives of people living with mental ill health and increasing their access to services. This session is being organised with Time to Change and a range of other organisations.

Speaker: Sue Baker, Time to Change

Key messages from this week's speakers:

Esenam Drah, Mental Health Society of Ghana: Training can be a vital tool for helping individuals overcome the stigma they have faced, and give back to society by educating others on mental health and discrimination.

Charlene Sunkel, Global Mental Health Peer Network: The inclusion of people with lived experience is a human right, we must continue to push for lived experience voices to be heard at every level of policy and service provision. 

Petra Gronholm, Kings College London: Stigma is an issue across all settings – but specific concerns, fears, and behaviours are likely to vary across sites, and this is why the interventions need to be specific to each context and culture.

Louise Brookes, Time To Change: Peer support and education helps create a sustainable way to tackle stigma and discrimination.

The Time To Change anti-stigma toolkit can be found here.
