Breaking the chains of stigma




Bagus Utomo, an Indonesian man who was motivated by his brother's mental illness, has been selected as the inaugural winner of the Dr. Guislain "Breaking the Chains of Stigma" Award for his tireless work to provide resources to fight stigma associated with schizophrenia through his organization Komunitas Peduli Skizofrenia Indonesia (Indonesia Community Care for Schizophrenia), or KPSI.

The Dr. Guislain Award program is a joint project of the Museum Dr. Guislain and Janssen Research & Development, LLC. Janssen provides financial and in kind support for the program. The winner receives a $50,000 prize that must be used toward further work to reduce societal stigma about mental health and disorders of the brain.
