What
is the Attitude Survey & Who Should Take It?
ADVOCATES: The attitude
survey is for you to see what you think about possible
situations involving someone who has mental illness. No
results are saved. It is just for you to find out about
your own attitudes.

consumers carry around attitudes of self-stigma. They think
less of themselves and are embarrassed about their health
