Twisted: Time We Immobilised Stigma To End Discrimination

Twisted is the Talking Minds anti-stigma project that seeks to raise awareness of the impact that stigmatisation has.

Talking Minds Twisted - Mental Health Information, Education, and Support challenging Stigma and Discrimination 

To stigmatise, is to devalue and/or discredit a person from a particular community or service. For example, a person with Schizophrenia can be stigmatised and discrimination by society, because people make assumptions and apply negative stereotypes to that person.
