March 2021 Virtual Presentation "Keeping It Together" Because Stigma Says So, presented by Erin Callinan, MSW.
This event was held on March 24, 2021. Please see our recording of the presentation below.
This workshop will discuss stigma, public perception, and how it shapes how individuals access care. Participants will learn how to:
- Recognize the ways in which public and internalized stigma promote detrimental messages that strength on the outside equals stability on the inside.
- Explore implicit biases that are held which dismiss the need for mental health interventions based on perceptions of who is deserving of support.
- Identify strategies for families, peers, and providers to make the shift from advocacy to allyship.
