Respect costs nothing

A survey of discrimination faced by people with experience of mental illness in Aotearoa New Zealand.

A unique New Zealand sample of 785 people with experience of a mental illness, the survey asked people with experience of mental illness about the nature of any discrimination they may have experienced.

We were not so interested in the numbers of people experiencing discrimination, rather, the nature of the actual discrimination experience. Up until then there had been a lack of information in New Zealand about peoples' experience of discrimination in this area.
