Strength Against Stigma

Strength Against Stigma In Memory of My Dad-lost to su***de on 09-04-2013. Most people who live with mental illness have, at some point, been blamed for their condition.

Mental Heath advocacy group to raise money for rural communities that are severely lacking support and resources available to all community members suffering from mental health issues, needing support. They’ve been called names. Their symptoms have been referred to as “a phase” or something they can control “if they only tried.” They have been illegally discriminated against, with no justice. This

is the unwieldy power that stigma holds. Stigma causes people to feel ashamed for something that is out of their control. Worst of all, stigma prevents people from seeking the help they need. For a group of people who already carry such a heavy burden, stigma is an unacceptable addition to their pain. And while stigma has reduced in recent years, the pace of progress has not been quick enough. All of us in the mental health community need to raise our voices against stigma. Every day, in every possible way, we need to stand up to stigma. “How do you fight stigma?”
