Stamp Out Stigma Stamp Out Stigma aims to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness and substance use disorders. When we do this, we can reduce the stigma.

Stamp Out Stigma is an initiative spearheaded by the Association for Behavioral Health and Wellness (ABHW) to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness and substance use disorders. This campaign challenges each of us to transform the dialogue on mental health and addiction from a whisper to a conversation. We must first recognize the high prevalence of mental illness and substance use disorders; then reeducate ourselves, friends and family on the truths of mental illness and addiction.

Today is World Mental Health Day! Join us in taking a few minutes today to reflect on your own mental health, what you can do to help those around you, and how to access and share important mental health resources.

Remember, you aren’t on the journey alone, and the world is ALWAYS better with you here!💚

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share resources and learn a little more about ***dePrevention and this month.

Our biggest takeaway was learning to recognize all the small ways people help their friends, family, and strangers when they see them struggling. Seemingly small actions lead to giant steps forward.

While our official month of observation is ending, su***de prevention and recovery journeys are year-round battles. Don’t be afraid to send a quick text or reach out a hand!

You don't need the perfect words to support someone who's struggling.

Sometimes, just being there is enough. Start by listening without judgment, offer your support, and remind them that help is available through 988.
