Reducing Stigma in Mental Illness

Reducing Stigma in Mental Illness
That this Assembly recognises that many people, from a cross-section of society, face mental health challenges; asserts that no person experiencing mental ill-health should feel any shame due to their illness; further recognises the need to fully implement the Mental Health Strategy 2021-2031; calls on the Minister of Health to take action to reduce stigma around mental illness and to bring forward a work plan on this issue, given its prevalence within society; and further calls on the Department of Health to deliver anti-stigma and anti-discrimination public awareness and education campaigns, as detailed in the first theme of the Mental Health Strategy.
