STIGMA weakens the validity of mental illnesses. It has made many question if mental-health conditions are real and/or treatable. Throughout history, we have allowed STIGMA to create barriers around effective treatment and recovery.

Keeping discussions going about mental health likely makes us feel comfortable enough to recognise when we need help and take the necessary steps to maintain good health.

As a community, it is necessary for us to engage in open dialogue to let people know they are not alone and to encourage care and support.

We invite you to join the webinar with our community leaders and service providers to start conversations about mental health stigma and take the opportunity to correct misconceptions that prevent people from seeking help.

Ultimately, we want to encourage early intervention, so it does not lead to devastating consequences like suicide.
