The resource kit upon which this course is based is intended to raise awareness of mental health and help counter the stigma and discrimination faced by people with mental illnesses. In 2003 the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), launched the Elimination of Barriers Initiative (EBI). Based in eight pilot states, the EBI aimed to build awareness of and counter the discrimination and stigma associated with mental illness. A key component of the EBI is grass roots support and outreach. Each of the eight states that participated in the EBI formed partnerships, mobilized volunteers, and conducted other on-the-ground activities that generated attention from the media, paved the way for entry into school systems and businesses, and took mental health out of the shadows.
Mounting a stigma reduction initiative requires a significant investment, in terms of both human and financial resources. As the ugly veil of stigma gives way to compassion and acceptance, the reward of the hard work is realized. This course is intended to provide the training and tools necessary to make the effort of creating a mental health stigma reduction initiative a productive and organized endeavor.
This course is based on the reading-based online article, Developing a Stigma Reduction Initiative created by Subtance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Staff
