Spring 2010: Stigma and discrimination in health care
Consumers of mental health and addiction services tell us that stigma and discrimination are common among health care providers – the very people who are supposed to provide hope and promote recovery. The spring 2010 issue of CrossCurrents: The Journal of Addiction and Mental Health explores interventions aimed at combating stigma and discrimination in health care settings.
