The issue of stigma can be a deeply personal issue for individuals whether they're incarcerated or not. Certainly we've benefited from following the lead of the Mental Health Commission of Canada and their work to address stigma. Both for staff and inmates, we've come a long way in addressing stigma. In our experience, of course it's very individualized, but most inmates who need treatment are willing to come forth to the health professional and get the treatment they need.
The provisions in this act that speak about clinical independence and patient-centred care will also help address stigma, because it's going to be very clear to the patient, the inmate, that the health professional is there to help them with their wellness and their treatment.
