Beyond Stigma: Bringing the Conversation About Mental Illness Forward
Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2013, 7-8:30 p.m. (EST)
Mental illnesses affect one in four people each year, yet they are some of the most poorly understood and stigmatized conditions. Medical advances have made mental illnesses highly treatable, but many people with these disorders choose to suffer in silence rather than risk being ostracized or face discrimination. It's no longer enough to simply fight stigma; we need to advance the conversation to produce opportunities for people with mental illnesses to live meaningful lives in their communities. (Free online RSVPs begin Tuesday, Jan. 22.)

Alford, a renowned U.S. legal scholar and expert in Chinese law; Boston University international relations and political science professor Joseph Fewsmith, who is highly recognized for his work on China's politics; and Carter Center China Program Director Yawei Liu, who has written and commented extensively on China's political developments and grassroots democracy.
