Three people sit on chairs on a black stage in front of a black curtain. Each person holds a handheld microphone and sheets of paper.
We were left with lots to think about after this afternoon's panel 💭
In a discussion about tackling stigma, the panel addressed unconscious bias, the need to shift wider public narratives, and the importance of meaningful co-production.
Thank you to our wonderful panelists!
