COVID-19: Spread solidarity and love, not stigma and fear
New resource on stigma and self-stigma related to COVID-19

As COVID-19 moves within our communities, it is more important than every to support those who contract it, including ourselves.  Stigma often thrives on fear - we have a chance to make sure that we do not stigmatise ourselves and others, while still keeping ourselves safe.

From the Inside Out: Dealing with TB-related self-stigma and shame

“From the Inside Out” is a training toolkit designed to help people identify, understand, and address self-stigma and anticipated stigma. We provide a framework and tools to reduce self-stigma in people with tuberculosis (TB). In order to explore self-stigma and examine its impact people must reach solutions. In particular, the package aims to challenge and overcome self-stigmatizing beliefs to improve well-being and ensure affected people can lead productive lives that are free of self-judgment. It is intended for use by NGOs, National TB Programmes and TB Support Groups. So far the toolkit has been delivered and evaluated in Kazakstan, Indonesia and The Philippines, and soon Vietnam. Download the toolkit here and the accompanying handouts here.  If you would like to receive a Master Training please contact us.
