This manual ('Together We Can: Tools For Open Discussions About Stigma And Discrimination In Mental Health') offers some ideas for starting a conversation about stigma and discrimination in mental health. Its structure enables everyone to organise dialogues in various communities: at home, at school, in the workplace, among friends, etc. The manual is designed for everyone who strives to reduce stigma and discrimination through an open discussion. It is aimed at concrete action, at change. The booklet comprises two parts. The first part combines the lived experience of stigma and discrimination by people with mental health difficulties, on the one hand, and informed knowledge on the issue by the research group of the OMRA programme, on the other hand. This part further brings an explanation of the terms stigma and discrimination, and their relationship, as well as how both phenomena impact our wellbeing and behaviour, and what meaning is ascribed to them by various communities.

Priročnik prinaša nekaj idej za oblikovanje pogovora o stigmi in diskriminaciji v duševnem zdravju. Napisan je tako, da lahko pogovor organizira kdorkoli v kakršnikoli skupnosti: doma, v šoli, na delovnem mestu, med prijatelji itd. Namenjena je vsakomur, ki bi se s pogovorom o stigmi in diskriminaciji rad lotil konkretnega dejanja za njuno zmanjševanje, torej za spremembo. Knjižica obsega dva dela. Prvi del združuje živeto izkušnjo stigme in diskriminacije ljudi s težavami v duševnem zdravju in poučenost raziskovalne ekipe programa OMRA o teh pojavih. Prinaša razlago pojmov stigme, diskriminacije in njune povezanosti, kako pojava vplivata na naše počutje in vedenje in kakšen pomen imata za skupnost. Drugi del priročnika daje predloge in pripomočke za začetek izvajanja pogovorov o duševnem zdravju in zniževanju stigme in diskriminacije. Napisan je tako, da lahko kdorkoli po želji organizira delavnice tako, da združuje in prilagodi skupek predlaganih vaj vsakokratnim okoliščinam.
