Mental Health First Aid Canada

Anti-stigma / Anti-discrimination Initiative

Mental illness affects people of every age and every walk of life. Many people say the stigma they experience is often worse than the disease itself. The Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) has been given a mandate to undertake a 10-year initiative to reduce stigma and discrimination. It will be the largest systematic effort to reduce the stigma of mental illness in Canadian History. This initiative will be based on a targeted, outcomes-oriented strategic plan, developed from the best available research and will be measured for effectiveness.
