“
Every part of our being is connected to our mental health. All of our psychological and biological systems are inter-related yet for centuries, in spite of so many advances, the need to nurture and support preventive and holistic mental health practices was devalued, underfunded and downplayed—truly relegated to a ‘back seat’ on the list of societal priorities and relegated to stigma status. The work of the Coalition has been transformational in not only giving us a glimpse of a future without stigma (imagine such a world, a state, a community) but also pulling together all sectors in a unified approach that represents a wonderful and potent example of collective impact. The staff at the Family Help Center pledge to share the same commitment and do our part to work with the Coalition to help ensure our community will become stigma-free. It is within our reach.
