\n\t\t#STRIKETHESTIGMA\n\t<\/h1>\n\t

Stigma Solutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t<\/iframe>\n\tProduced by: Shannon Finn<\/em><\/p>\nStigma surrounding mental health makes individuals feel \u201cdifferent\u201d or that \u201csomething is wrong with them.\u201d It is important to strike these stigmas and to start the conversation about mental health to ensure that these individuals do not feel alone or different.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\tStriking The Stigma\n\t<\/h3>\n\tWhile stigma is one of the most talked about issues in mental health, there are mixed opinions about changing stigma surrounding serious mental illness. A survey was conducted to find out what people knew about mental health. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhelp.net\/aware\/the-stigma-of-mental-illness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Survey<\/a> respondents were asked to rate themselves on a scale from 1 – 5 how informed they are about mental health. The average answer was 3.5. <\/p>\nAnother question asked in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mentalhelp.net\/aware\/the-stigma-of-mental-illness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">survey<\/a> was how a person perceived their own knowledge on the topic of mental health. Here was the result.<\/p>\n\tHow Respondents Rate Their Own Mental Health <\/strong>Knowledge<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/BrongGIF.gif\" alt=\"BrongGIF\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"768\" width=\"1024\" title=\"BrongGIF\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" \/>\n\t <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\t<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><\/h1>\n <\/p>\n<h1>VS.<\/h1>\n\tHow Respondents Rate How Much Others Know About Mental Health<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Brong-GIF2.gif\" alt=\"Brong GIF2\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"768\" width=\"1024\" title=\"Brong GIF2\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" \/>\n\tThe survey results then compared that, to how a person perceived the knowledge of the people around them. The results of that question were starkly different.<\/p>\n\tThere is a large gap between how someone perceives their own knowledge and someone else\u2019s knowledge of mental health. This data shows a lack of uniform education across the board about mental health. \u00a0<\/p>\n\u201cPeople give short shrift to mental health care services,\u201d said Wendell Potter, the founder of Tarbell.org said. \u201cThey don’t think it is as important or they don’t value it. Sometimes as much as they do medical care.\u201d Potter spent the early part of his career working in journalism before moving to an executive role in health insurance companies, and now is starting his own journalism start-up. <\/p>\n\u201cIt is medical care, it\u2019s just [mental health] treatment that is different from what a medical doctor typically provides,\u201d said Potter. \u00a0<\/p>\nDr. Gregory Brusko is the Chief Clinical Officer of Ascension Wisconsin. Ascension is the largest non-profit health system in the United States. Dr. Brusko has had an extensive career in surgery as well as administrative roles in health networks. <\/p>\n\u201cThe stigma is dramatically different than it was as little as 15 – 20 years ago,\u201d said Dr. Brusko, \u201cthere is a more open discussion and public discussions, such as public television, talk shows and things like that talking about behavioral health.\u201d <\/p>\nMore and more on television and radio, celebrities open and people in the public eye open up about their mental health. That sparks discussions across the board on how to improve the availability of mental health services. <\/p>\n\u201cI think the evolution of management, especially on the inpatient side, has evolved considerably,\u201d said Dr. Brusko. Evolution has come from approaches to treating patients\u2019 mental illnesses through trauma-informed care, assessing traumatic experiences that could contribute to a person\u2019s mental health later in life. <\/p>\nPart of the stigma translates to how much is being spent on mental health treatment access in each state. The Kaiser Family Foundation conducted a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kff.org\/other\/state-indicator\/smha-expenditures-per-capita\/?activeTab=graph&currentTimeframe=0&startTimeframe=9&selectedDistributions=smha-expenditures-per-capita&selectedRows=%7B%22wrapups%22:%7B%22united-states%22:%7B%7D%7D,%22states%22:%7B%22pennsylvania%22:%7B%7D%7D%7D&sortModel=%7B%22colId%22:%22Location%22,%22sort%22:%22asc%22%7D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study<\/a>, and found the national average has hovered between $100 and $125 per capita spent on treatment access. That means that the expenditure each state is between $100 – $125 per person for treatment access.<\/p>\nThe consensus is that the stigma has improved but there is still much work to do. More positive and open conversation about the mental health problem in America that is happening. An increase in funding for treatment access would make treatment more affordable and available, and the continued conversation on the need for that increase in budget can continue to defeat the negative stigma surrounding mental health.<\/p>\nCreated\/Written by: Ryan Brong<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/advocacy\/\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tADVOCACY\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/awareness\/\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAWARENESS\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t CONTACT US\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_self\" itemprop=\"url\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/p-trans.png\" alt=\"Cabrini University\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" title=\"Cabrini University Logo\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCabrini University\n\t<ul>\n\t\t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t Cabrini University<\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/magnifymentalhealth.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t cabrinicomdept@gmail.com<\/li>\t<\/ul>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmagnifymentalhealth.com%2Fstrike-the-stigma%2F%3Ffl_builder\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href,'social-share','left=20,top=20,width=500,height=500,toolbar=1,resizable=0');return false;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmagnifymentalhealth.com%2Fstrike-the-stigma%2F%3Ffl_builder\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href,'social-share','left=20,top=20,width=500,height=500,toolbar=1,resizable=0');return false;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmagnifymentalhealth.com%2Fstrike-the-stigma%2F%3Ffl_builder\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href,'social-share','left=20,top=20,width=500,height=500,toolbar=1,resizable=0');return false;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<a rel=\"license\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/4.0\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Creative Commons License\" src=\"https:\/\/i.creativecommons.org\/l\/by-nc-nd\/4.0\/88x31.png\" \/><\/a> This work is licensed under a <a rel=\"license\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/4.0\/\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License<\/a>.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"#STRIKETHESTIGMA Stigma Solutions Produced by: Shannon Finn Stigma surrounding mental health makes individuals feel \u201cdifferent\u201d or that \u201csomething is wrong with them.\u201d It is important to strike these stigmas and to start the conversation about mental health to ensure that these individuals do not feel alone or different.
