Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Public attitudes and stigma towards mental illness can prevent individuals from seeking and receiving treatment. This is an important issue to address in a community presentation in order to promote mental health awareness and reduce stigma. Choices A, B, and D are not accurate or helpful information to include in the teaching plan. Homelessness is not necessarily a primary cause of mental illness, access to mental health services is not always widely available, and the majority of individuals with mental illness do not pose a threat of harm to others.
