Spring to Action: A National Mental Health Symposium to Address Discrimination and Stigma (Meeting Findings)

This meeting was the result of a conversation discussing the power of words to heal or harm. CMHS partnered with On Our Own of Maryland, Inc. to create an opportunity to address discrimination and stigma. This symposium resulted from the collaboration of a national committee including consumers, family members, advocates, mental health professionals, and academians who were determined to create a conference that walked the talk and gave voice to divergent views and provided a forum for establishing common ground in the arena of discrimination and stigma. The hope was to inspire action to create positive public awareness to support wellness, recovery, and inclusion (authors).
