The aim of the research was to find out more about people's experiences of discrimination due to their experience of mental illness. We were not so interested in the numbers of people experiencing discrimination, rather, the nature of the actual discrimination experience. Up until now, there has been a lack of information in New Zealand about peoples' experience of discrimination in this area.
