This week we consider how stigma and human rights affect people with mental illnesses in different countries and explore approaches to overcoming stigma.

Continuing with our pathways to mental health approach, we seek a deeper understanding of the role of culture in mental health care with a focus on spirituality.


Week 4 - Pathways to mental health 3: people and partnerships

This week we look at how different partnerships can be formed to improve mental health care services and we consider the care-giving roles of professionals and lay people.
