Stigma
Through their stories, some participants reflected on the stigma and stereotypes that they still experience.
A Yale student gave him a bike tire because he was in need of one and the police stopped him and he had to go to court because the police thought he had stolen the bike tire. He actually found the Yale student, and he said that he had given the bike tire to him. I guess maybe they thought he was a vagrant or something.
We have had a lot of controversy with the neighbors.I’ve heard that they’ve said that “those people are knocking on our doors at 3am” which is just not happening, I mean I know because I have been there at 3 o’clock in the morning. That's not happening.
These are the doors of the locked in-patient unit at CMHC where I lived. This door is locked at all times, so pretty much if you are beyond those doors you are locked in, that’s where I used to spend a lot of my time, the locked doors kind of says something.
