8TH CONFERENCE - TOGETHER AGAINST STIGMA
We are pleased to announce that the 8th
International Together Against Stigma
Conference will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark,
September 20th-22nd, 2017.
Stigma of mental illness is a global challenge
resulting in discrimination and exclusion from
social life, education and the labor market.
The conference will provide an opportunity
to establish links between representatives of
programs against stigma in different countries
and professions as well as people with lived
experience of mental illness.
The aim is to create an overview on research,
campaigns and other initiatives combatting
stigma as well as providing a deeper
understanding of effective methods for
identifying and challenging knowledge, attitudes
and behavior constituting barriers in minds and
society.
The conference is relevant for professionals,
researchers, anti-stigma campaigners,
politicians, people with lived experience of
mental illness and their carers as well as others
with a special interest in the field. The conference
is hosted by the Danish national anti-stigma
campaign ONE OF US in collaboration with the
World Psychiatric Association’s (WPA) Stigma
Section.
