ONE IN FIVE people experiences a mental health condition, yet shame and stigma stop countless individuals from ever seeking help. This month, we're shining a light on Overcoming Stigma: exploring what drives it, how it shows up in everyday life, and what we can do to break it down. When stigma is replaced with understanding, people are more likely to seek care, stay connected, and thrive.
