It likely wouldn’t surprise you to hear that people with serious mental health conditions like schizophrenia, experience stigma.
Family members and others close to a person with a mental health condition can experience discrimination as well, a concept called stigma by association.
A new study from York University found that one in three family members of people with a serious mental health condition faced stigma.
The study’s lead author, Associate Professor of Psychology Joel Goldberg, spoke with People First Radio to share more about stigma experienced by family members, and what we can do about it.
