"...According to Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General, stigma exerts negative effects by causing people to avoid “socializing or working with, renting to, or employing” individuals with mental health challenges, which results in decreased opportunities and resources and, ultimately, low self-esteem, isolation, and hopelessness (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1999)."

Reducing stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness is an important goal

According to mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General, stigma exerts negative effects by causing people to avoid “socializing or working with, renting to, or employing” individuals with mental health challenges, which results in decreased opportunities and resources and, ultimately, low self-esteem, isolation, and hopelessness

Many individuals and organizations may lack the knowledge or resources on how best to address issues of stigma and discrimination.
