Raising Awareness & Reducing Stigma

Paired t-tests of matched pre-viewing and post-viewing surveys demonstrate reduced mental health stigma across nearly all questions for both the general public and mental health professionals.

“72.3% Agree: I am more likely to disclose my mental health challenges to my friends and family.”

“95% Agree: I would feel comfortable sitting with them on their bad days.”

“55% Increase in Agreement: I believe that a person with a history of a mental illness is just as trustworthy as the average person.”

“30% Pre vs. 47% Post: Believe "a great deal” that they would treat a person with a history of a mental illness just as they would treat anyone. ”

“52% Pre vs. 89% Post: Agree “a great deal” that confidence in someone would NOT be threatened if that person sought professional help. ”
