Největší destigmatizační událost v České republice Týdny pro duševní zdraví právě začala.

Fokus ČR byl v začátcích této rozsáhlé a pestré kampaně na podporu duševního zdraví a pro 30. ročník má každý Fokus opět připraveno mnoho akcí, besed, workshopů či happeningů. Přehledně jsou pozvánky na všechny akce uvedené na www.tdz.cz. Ke kampani jsou srdečně zvány i další organizace a neziskovky, které podporují duševní zdraví a upozorňují na stigmatizaci lidí se zkušeností s duševním onemocněním.
