Beyond Stigma was founded and based in Ireland with the goal of increasing awareness and understanding of internal stigma, which can have significant negative impacts on mental health. The organisation has provided support for master's level research projects at Trinity College Dublin in the fields of Global Health and Public Health and Primary Care, with a particular focus on the intersection of internal stigma and mental health. Beyond Stigma has also been actively presenting their research and knowledge of self-stigma in Ireland, with the aim of informing policymakers and those working in international health and wellness on the importance of addressing self-stigma for better mental health outcomes.​
