Mental Health, Stigma, and Communication— Free Training Module Available
I have worked with an amazing team at the Center for Health Communication (a joint center between the University of Texas at Austin and the Dell Medical Center) to help create a free, 45-minute training module regarding stigmatizing language about mental illnesses. Anyone can take the module, and can sign up for additional (fee-based) modules through their new online education series.

Check out the videos here.
