Abstract	[Extract] The National Mental Health Commission requested the Institute of Child Protection Studies (ICPS) at Australian Catholic University to undertake a rapid high-level review of the issues relating to the experiences of people with mental ill-health who are involved in family court and/or child protection processes. The purpose of the review is to identify issues and implications for areas where work can be done to address stigma in three domains: self-stigma, public stigma, and structural stigma/discrimination.
