Abstract

ethics of care

indigenous concepts of care

solidarity

recovery storytelling

local knowledge and practices

In this reflection, I use the lens of my lived experience to outline ideas to tackle mental disorder-related stigma. I advocate for a multidisciplinary approach that combines normative theoretical analysis with practical research. This involves advocating for fostering solidarity, addressing ethical considerations in recovery storytelling, and respecting local knowledge and practices. Additionally, I sketch how ethics of care and concepts of care can guide these efforts and call for further normative theoretical investigation to develop comprehensive and sensitive strategies for reducing mental disorder-related stigma.
