This is an incredible resource for anyone interested in understanding and working to eliminate the stigma of mental illness. Corrigan and colleagues do a fabulous job incorporating a vast field of theory, research, and lived experience and making it accessible and useful to advocates and professionals. It is really a step by step guide for implementing local anti-stigma campaigns based in the best available evidence for what works. The real life examples bring the concepts to life and make the book an engaging read. Anyone interested in challenging mental illness stigma should have this in their advocacy tool box.

By Amy C. Watson

This book is well-researched but also intelligible to a lay reader. I am a lawyer with a case involving an individual who could be stigmatized and the book gave me what I needed to get "up to speed" on the topic.
