Today is World Schizophrenia Day.

Schizophrenia is often misunderstood, but at its core, it’s a mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and experiences the world. With the right support, people living with schizophrenia can and do lead meaningful, fulfilling lives.

At Step One, we believe in listening without judgment, offering consistent support, and helping people feel understood, not defined by a diagnosis.

Let’s take a moment to challenge stigma, learn more, and show compassion to those affected.
