Those who share their voices on Stigma Breakers are standing up to break the silence against the stigma of mental health. Mental health is not a bad thing; talking about it does not make you weak. If anything, vulnerability makes you stronger. By speaking up, you are helping people understand mental health and helping people struggling with mental health. We encourage you to stand with us.
