Join us for the Mental Health Commission of Canada's (MHCC's) Ghost in the Machine: Tackling Structural Stigma in Health-Care Environments webinar.
Learn from Canada's leading researchers on mental illness- and substance use-related structural stigma in health-care.
Date: February 9, 2021
Time: 12-1:30 p.m. ET
In 2019, the MHCC launched a multi-year project to better understand mental health- and substance use-related structural stigma in health care.
The findings so far give us a clearer picture of structural stigma, including how it emerges, how it impacts health and quality-of-life outcomes, and what the best strategies are for reshaping the way health services are provided.
Topics include:
- Why we should care
- How structural stigma is experienced
- What we know so far
- What can be done (including key priorities for dismantling and disrupting structural stigma)
