Beyond Stigma was founded in Ireland with the goal of increasing awareness and understanding of self-stigma, which can have significant negative impacts on mental health. The organization has provided support for master's level research projects at Trinity College Dublin in the fields of Global Health and Public Health and Primary Care, with a particular focus on the intersection of self-stigma and mental health. Beyond Stigma has also been actively presenting their research and knowledge of self-stigma in Ireland, with the aim of informing policy makers and those working in international health and wellness on the importance of addressing self-stigma for better mental health outcomes.
