Although our community has grown increasingly open about mental illness, we still have far to go to erase stigma. To shine light on the issue, in 1997 Didi Hirsch hosted its first Erasing the Stigma Leadership Awards, honoring Tipper Gore in recognition of her candid discussion of mental illness and its costs to all of us. Since then, we have honored researchers and physicians, actors and writers, leaders and activists, for their significant contributions to the field of mental health and for helping to erase the stigma of mental illness. | ||
