The State of Stigma
June 2025 — EncounteringGrief and Stigma
June 12, 2025 | 12 PM
Everyone will experience the death of a loved one at some point in their life, yet no one experiences grief the same way. There are no rules or timelines when experiencing loss. Just like all mental health challenges, stigma can have a detrimental impact on a bereaved person’s grief journey.
Join the Anti-Stigma Coalition for a conversation about grief and stigma on Thursday, June 12 at noon. Our experts will share practical advice for those who grieve and the friends and family who support them.
MODERATED BY—Matt Smith, Executive Director of PreventionFocus
