"stigma_vastu"
("Against Stigma")
project
The aim of the project is to raise awareness of people with mental disorders in Estonia and to reduce their stigma as well as to increase the need for equal treatment. With our exhibition, we also try to encourage people to seek help and not be afraid to ask for help at difficult times.
The exhibition is organized on the initiative of 2 people, 1 of whom is members of the Estonian Medical Students Association and the other one is a professional photographer.
NB! The first names of some participants were changed to ensure their anonymity!
The exhibition "Against Stigma" takes place both in Tartu and Tallinn (October 1 - October 31):
Tartu: Kvartali Shopping Center and Tartu University Biomedicum
Tallinn: Atrium of the North-Estonian Regional Hospital ("Põhja-Eesti Regionaalhaigla").
