We discuss whether and to what extent attitudes towards people with mental illness can be improved by providing information on a mental health-mental illness continuum. It appeared to be relevant whether interventions promoted a feeling of 'us' and a process of identification with the person with mental illness. We discuss implications for the design of future interventions.
