I think with children learning their own identity and that being learnt through others that stigma is definitely a learned condition. When a child's role model's show this behaviour then children learn that behaviour and take it on as part of their own identity.

Re: Special Online Event // Breaking the stigma of mental illness// Thurs 18 Oct, 9 30pm
Is stigma a learned condition because it seems to be absent in young children who happily play with others whom adults may well prefer to shun?
I’m going to mention this a lot from now on because this is the only way people can often get past their own guilt...
“Stigma begins with a choice that isn’t your fault. It continues with a choice that is.”
And that’s it.
I’ve found that when people are shown their negative behaviour in a punitive way they tend to dig their heels in and make the whole experience a battle. So hopefully this can alleviate it.

Wow, well I can't beleive it's been an hour already!
Thanks everyone for such a fascinating conversation. We think documentaries like How ‘Mad’ Are You open up important public discussion around mental illness, stereotypes and stigma. So as we wrap it up, as a farewell statement tell us what is one thing you can do to increase awareness, reduce stigma, encourage people to seek help, or reinforce hope?”

That is brilliant!

Treat everyone as equal @s-jay as we never know what they are dealing with or what 'battles' they have had to go through to get where they are now.
