How can we reduce stigma in mental health?
The stigma associated with mental health issues can prevent people from accessing the help they need. As part of the ongoing Big Questions series at the University of Minnesota, four panelists met on Dec. 5th to discuss ways to move beyond stigma in mental health with MPR News host Tom Weber
The Big Questions series is a collaboration between the University of Minnesota College of Liberal Arts and MPR News.
