Publisher’s Note: Stomping Out Stigma

Publisher’s Note: Stomping Out Stigma

By Barbara Nicholson Brown

 

With rising pressures in today’s fast-paced world, bringing awareness to mental health and wellness has never been more important. Through open and fear-less discussions, we are breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health issues.

 

Did you know 1 in 4 adults will experience a mental health condition in a given year? 

 

Our mental health affects every aspect of our lives, from how we think and feel to how we handle stress and build relationships. 

 

Just like physical health conditions, mental health challenges are treatable.

 

Mental Health America has created a toolkit (https://www.mhanational.org/mental-health-month) filled with resources to help you address your mental well-being or support someone you care about.  Don’t wait to seek help – you are not alone.

 

Together, we can create a world where mental health is a priority. Share your copy of Together AZ with friends and family. Get involved with a mental health organization and keep the conversation going!
