They may change the way they interact with someone after witnessing a panic attack from anxiety or PTSD. Or they may judge others for their appearance and their weight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Stigma leads to harmful stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. It can keep people from seeking the help and support they need. They may internalize others' stigma and start to blame themselves for their condition or experiences. In some cases, the effects of stigma can even be life threatening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even with so many examples, it can be difficult to identify stigma in real time and even harder to work against it. But learning about common types of stigma can help to reduce them. Author and registered nurse Connie Goldsmith covers six stigmatized conditions--poor mental health, addiction, homelessness, relationship abuse, PTSD, and above average weight--to help you understand what stigma looks like and how it affects real people. Discover how you can dismantle stigma and work to reduce stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Connie Goldsmith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1728477395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781728477398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Twenty-First Century Books (Tm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.06w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2023 pg. 125\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2023 pg. 70","brand":"Connie Goldsmith","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":44149572370687,"sku":"9781728477398","price":38.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6d1db962-f3b9-48aa-8bec-f1ffa7a6677a.jpg?v=1688457395","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/smashing-stigma-connie-goldsmith-9781728477398","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
