• Promoting Mental Health Literacy Among Educators (2013, background): “Unfortunately, these largely negative attitudes and the stigma they foster have been found to present barriers to successful and timely intervention primarily by reducing access to appropriate referrals and by limiting help-seeking behaviour (Jorm, 2000; Martin, Pescosolido, & Tuch, 2000).”
• The impact of mental health literacy, stigma, and social support on attitudes toward mental health help-seeking (2017, background): “Mental health literacy refers to knowledge and beliefs about multiple aspects of mental illness and treatment and is supposed to facilitate recognition of mental illness and promotion of mental health care (Jorm, 2000; Jorm et al., 1997).”
• Barriers to Mental Health Treatment: Results from the WHO World Mental Health (WMH) Surveys (2013, background): “As mental disorders are still highly stigmatized, social and cultural factors might contribute to biased perceptions of need (Leventhal et al. 1984; Jorm, 2000; Gureje et al. 2006).”
• Avoidance of Counseling: Psychological Factors That Inhibit Seeking Help (2007, background): “Researchers have suggested that people often do not know a lot about counseling or psychotherapy (Jorm, 2000) and that their perceptions are often based on inaccurate information gathered from media”
