Mental health : perspectives on resolving social stigma in employment for ex-mental patients
This paper discusses social stigma in the context of disability in general and mental health in particular, and the impact of stigma on the employment prospects of those who are defined as mentally sick or are ex-mental patients. The roots of stigma, and how stigma can be countered in society in an effort to promote successful rehabilitation, are also discussed.
