The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is offering a resource guide – Developing a Stigma Reduction Initiative -- as part of a major national campaign to increase awareness of mental health disorders among young people in the African-American community. The guide provides information on how to mount a statewide anti-stigma campaign, examples of outreach materials, reports on best practices for stigma reduction, and resources for technical assistance. Copies of the guide can be downloaded or obtained by calling SAMHSA’s Health Information Network at 1-877-SAMHSA7.
