“
Stigma attached to seeking mental health services remains a deterrent to those who are suffering from a variety of conditions. New Directions, by joining with the Erie County Anti-Stigma Coalition, is partnering with many others to work toward treatment being seen as a resilient, strength based, positive step in restoring the mental health of those in need. The achievement of these goals will bring our communities to a place of support and will honor those who seek services rather than stigmatizing. New Directions is fully committed to the effort.
