March Conference 2013
Challenging Stigma
Friday 22nd March 2013
Description
As clinical psychologists we are fully aware that others'
negative attitudes and discrimination often have a profound effect on
the people we work with. Rarely though do clinical psychologists become
involved in efforst to tackle stigmas and discrimination associated
with mental health problems, disability or other factors. Furthermore,
clinical psychologists are part of a society in which the stigma
associated with some conditions has been challenged over recent times,
e.g. mental health stigma, while the stigma associated with other
circumstances or life choices, such as teenage parenthood, is rarely
questioned. This conference intends to raise awareness of stigmas
across a number of areas and present work underway designed to tackle
stigma.
