The threat of public stigma, as well as self-stigma, can prevent individuals from receiving the mental health treatment they need. In this Assignment, you analyze the influence of stigma on experiences with and treatment of mental illness. To prepare: Watch the TED Talk by Sangu Delle and then review the readings for this week. Focus on Delle’s examples illustrating Corrigan’s model about the stages of stigma and the hierarchy of disclosure. Consider Delle's experience against that model. By Day 7 Submit a 3-page paper that addresses the following: APA, Times New Roman, 12 font size, Left aligned Briefly explain Corrigan’s model of the stages of stigma and his recommendations and hierarchy about recovery. Explain whether Delle’s experience follows that model. Use specific examples to argue your perspective. If you agree, identify which stage of recovery Delle is in.

What was the primary benefit of his diagnosis? Do you think his experience would be different if his culture was different? Explain why or why not?
