Reducing stigma toward people who experience mental health challenges

A new report into the stigma and discrimination experienced by people with mental health challenges has highlighted that negative attitudes remain an ongoing issue, despite growing awareness about complex mental health conditions. In this edition of The Conversation Hour we hear from someone who lives with schizophrenia plus National Mental Health Commission to explore what underpins these attitudes and how to reduce stigma and discrimination.Also in this edition, what's driving a warm winter here and a boiling summer in Europe and why there are long lines at the airports in Europe? Plus, Tasmania's Neil the seal is going viral for his somewhat raucous behaviour down at Seven Mile Beach, we talk seal behaviour and hear about your wildlife encounters.SANE Support line 1800 187 263
