Help end mental health stigma in your community
Being welcome, included and valued is a basic human need and essential to mental health and well-being. It’s why eliminating inequities is key to building healthy communities.
Mental health is shaped by many things – our community, culture, identity, lived experiences, language, faith, values, and beliefs. These influence how we understand mental health, how we experience stigma, and what kinds of support, care and healing practices feel safe or helpful.
That’s why it’s so important to approach mental health conversations with openness, compassion, and understanding.
This is a starting point for changing the conversation around mental health, ending stigma, and creating more caring, connected communities.
