Stigma Roundtables
The New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) in partnership with Behavioral Health News (BHN) organized four roundtable discussions in 2023 as part of a larger strategic plan to reduce the stigma of mental illness. The roundtable panels consisted of experts working in community-based agencies, most also with lived experience of a mental health condition and one roundtable consisted of representatives from the media. The audience was broad and consisted of persons with lived experience and families, Peer Specialists and community advocates, staff working in behavioral health community-based and government agencies, and clinicians, including social workers, psychologists, and physicians.
