Sommario/riassunto

This interdisciplinary volume addresses the progress made regarding mental illness stigma in the realm of higher education while acknowledging how stigma has transformed to present more subtle



challenges in this context and how it may be addressed to promote positive campus outcomes. Written by researchers and practitioners who represent different fields within higher education, it highlights the existence of stigma by focusing on its presence in the curriculum, in policies, and in processes within the university. It discusses both the presence and impact of stigma in undergraduate and graduate studies, athletics, and faculty and staff. The book emphasizes a collaborative approach to involve stakeholder groups across campus by providing practical, preemptive solutions to reduce stigma. This volume can be used as a practical guide for any institution of higher education wishing to address mental illness stigma on their campus in a strategic, systemic manner. Additionally, it will be helpful for individuals working in higher education as a guide for reflecting on and changing their individual practice. This book greatly appeals to those who are interested in addressing mental illness stigma systemically.
