The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI,
2007), the nation's largest grassroots mental health
organization, works to eliminate the stigma associated
with mental disorders and improve the
quality of life for those with mental disorders. In
an effort to fight stigma, NAMI uses protest,
personal contact, and community education. StigmaBusters
is a protest approach used by NAMI to
fight stigma. StigmaBusters approaches individuals
in the media who inaccurately portray mental
disorders and demands that they stop inaccurate
portrayal. In Our Own Voice, a manualized contact
and educational program, is designed to increase
mental health knowledge and reduce stigma. In Our
Own Voice consists of two consumers (people who
have recovered from a mental disorder and have
received In Our Own Voice training) sharing their
experiences of living with and recovering from a
mental disorder. In Our Own Voice has been
presented to lay and professional audiences.
