“
Mental health and wellness is a basic right that should be enjoyed by all. Only through working together, can we effectively address the stigma – negative perceptions, language, and behavior – that surrounds mental illness. By joining forces, we can create great synergy in our communities to support open and candid conversations about mental illness, to foster an atmosphere encouraging of people seeking help, and to engender hope so that people can achieve optimal health and quality of life.
