UNDERSTAND
What is happening here?
Treatment choices should be based on individual needs and qualified clinical guidance. Stigma may discourage people from asking questions or continuing useful care. A group can examine stigma without deciding which medication or treatment any member should receive.

MAKE IT USEFUL
Notice. Discuss. Take one thing.
For thoughtful facilitation
Open with the concept, demonstrate one fictional example, allow individual exploration or paired discussion, and close with one optional takeaway. Ask what fits the participant’s culture, language, access needs, and present capacity. Invite observation instead of disclosure; do not interpret participation as a measure of motivation.
Fit and care: Use manageable or fictional examples and adapt within competence. This is educational practice, not diagnosis, crisis care, or individualized treatment.
