Hello All,

We thought you may be interested in a new WHO toolkit to address stigma and discrimination surrounding mental health issues. 

The Mosaic toolkit to end stigma and discrimination in mental health was designed to end stigma and discrimination against people with mental health conditions. Its central message is that relatively little is needed to get started – just knowledge of the core principles, skills to collaborate and communicate, and patience and persistence.

The toolkit offers practical guidance on how to achieve this, based on three core evidence-based principles: leadership or co-leadership by people with lived experience, social contact, and inclusive partnerships. These three principles can be realized using a four-step process: identify and define aims, plan and prepare, launch and learn and reflect and proceed. Twelve case studies from all across the world are provided to demystify the process. Stigma and discrimination can be ended if each of us acts as one using the principles in this toolkit.
