To summarize the background and rationale of the approach taken by the Mental Health Commission of Canada's Opening Minds (OM) Anti-Stigma Initiative.
The approach taken by OM incorporates a grassroots, community development philosophy, has clearly defined target groups, uses contact-based education as the central organizing element across interventions, and has a strong evaluative component, so that best practices can be identified, replicated, and disseminated. Contact-based education occurs when people who have experienced a mental illness share their personal story of recovery and hope.
OM has acted as a catalyst to develop partnerships between community groups who are undertaking anti-stigma work and an interdisciplinary team of academic researchers in 5 universities who are evaluating the results of these programs.
Building partnerships with existing community programs and promoting systematic evaluation using standardized approaches and instruments have contributed to our understanding of best practices in the field of anti-stigma programming.
总结加拿大心理健康委员会的“敞开心扉”(OM)反污名倡议所采用方法的背景和基本原理。
OM所采用的方法包含基层社区发展理念,有明确界定的目标群体,将基于接触的教育作为各干预措施的核心组织要素,并有强大的评估部分,以便能确定、复制和传播最佳实践。当有精神疾病经历的人分享他们的康复和希望个人故事时,就会发生基于接触的教育。
OM起到了催化剂的作用,促成了从事反污名工作的社区团体与5所大学的跨学科学术研究团队之间的伙伴关系,该研究团队正在评估这些项目的结果。
与现有社区项目建立伙伴关系,并使用标准化方法和工具促进系统评估,有助于我们理解反污名项目领域的最佳实践。
