 Beautiful Minds is a leading program in the provision of education programs that focus on positive mental health and the reduction of stigma throughout a person’s life. We work with schools, social agencies and community partners to develop, promote and deliver education programs to increase knowledge and promote positive attitudes towards mental health and thus reduce stigma. Clearly, a focus on prevention could, over time, reduce the number of mental health issues which would reduce the pressure on the mental health system by reducing the need for more intensive and costly interventions. The early identification of symptoms can reduce the severity of mental health issues and improve the quality of a person’s life. |
