Nightmare on Alma St
Stigma Files 2007
Thursday, 24 May 2007

An article titled 'Nightmare on Alma Street' was published by the Fremantle Herald on 19.5.07. The article reported on the city council's rejection of plans for a youth mental health facility on Alma Street in Fremantle.

Alluding to the teen horror movie 'Nightmare on Elm Street' wrongly associates mental illness with violence and fear.

StigmaWatch contacted the Fremantle Herald on 24.5.07 to voice community outrage over this headline, which further ostracises young people in need of help and understanding.
