Exposing the myths of Schizophrenia

Let’s Talk About It

Schizophrenia Awareness Week
March 8 – 14, 2010

Schizophrenia Awareness Week kicks off on March 8, with a whole lot of workshops, resources and information to encourage people to talk about schizophrenia.
“Schizophrenia is one of the most misunderstood diagnoses, and one of the most stigmatized,” says Judi Clements, Chief Executive of the Mental Health Foundation, which is partnering with Supporting Families in Mental Illness (SFMI) Auckland to promote the week. “The focus of the national campaign is on reducing stigma and increasing the awareness of the role family/whānau play in recovery.”
