Now more than ever, our actions matter. Join us in the fight against stigma and learn how you can help.

 

5 simple ways to end the stigma and start a conversation:

Language matters: the words you use can make all the difference.

Educate yourself: knowing the facts and myths about mental illness can be a great way to help end the stigma.

Be kind: simple acts of kindness can help open up the conversation and let someone know you are there for them.

Listen and ask: being a good listener and asking how you can help can be the first step in recovery.

Talk about it: mental illness touches us all in some way directly or through a friend, family member or colleague. Most people with mental health issues can do and do recover, just by talking about it.
