Currently, in the United States, many organizations have initiatives to reduce stigma toward mental disorders. In 2003, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA) published the first semiannual memorandum discussing purpose, current antistigma programs, and research efforts (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: The Resource Center to Address
Discrimination and Stigma With Mental Illness, 2003). Today, SAMHSA is a resource and liaison for individuals and groups interested in combating stigma. SAMHSA publishes a quarterly memorandum that reports advances in stigma research and highlights successful stigma-reduction programs. Approximately six times a year, SAMHSA hosts teleconference trainings to advance knowledge about stigma and stigma reduction and to foster partnerships between consumer groups, businesses, local government agencies, and other organizations interested in combating stigma. SAMHSA offers a free resource tool kit, Developing a Stigma Reduction Initiative (available at www.stopstigma. samhsa.gov), to raise awareness about mental health and assist organizations in fighting stigma.
