Abstract

The stigmatizing attitudes, associated with individuals with mental illness, present in students and health workers are reproduced in health care, producing adversities, in addition to those already generated by the mental illness itself. One way to combat this social problem is to invest in professional education in anti-stigmatizing education. The objective of this article is to present an experience report of an intervention in the mental health discipline, of the technical course in nursing, consisting of the planning and implementation of a teaching practice, aimed at facing the stigma. This practice showed a reduction in stigma among nursing technical students and it was related to an organization of the discipline, with the inclusion of educational strategies that defend the psychosocial care model and that promote students' contact with cases of individuals with mental illness.
