| Abstract | Social stigma is widely recognized as a major barrier to recovery from mental illness. In Poland, as in other countries, the society perceives mental illnesses as an intimidating problem, while the people affected are often treated with reservation and a sense of distance. One of the first Polish organizations addressing stigmatization and social exclusion of people with mental disorders was the "Open the doors" Association from Kraków. Now their work is followed in Warsaw by the Foundation eF point ("Fundacja eF kropka"). It is a non-governmental organization formed at the initiative of people professionally involved in helping persons with mental illness experience. The Foundation's attempt is to change the negative assumptions about the outcomes of mental diseases, convictions rooted in social awareness and patients' self-perception. This paper describes how the Foundation uses the education and contact approaches to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness and to foster personal empowerment of people receiving psychiatric treatment. The details of its new anti-stigma initiative "Together against stereotypes" are provided. [For the complete Volume 13, Number 1 proceedings, see ED568595.] (As Provided). |
