Project description
Belgium is involved in the survey 'Stigma in a Global Context - Mental Health Survey'. This gives us the opportunity to study stigma from a crosscultural perspective. We take into account the process of deinstitutionalization by paying attention to structural factors such as the organization of the mental health care sector and cultural aspects such as familialization.
