Mental Health Awareness

“Mental illness awareness means bringing down the walls of stigma by sharing our experiences,
stories, and truths. It means educating others on what mental illness really is and helping those
with illnesses that they are not alone.”

“It means recognizing that mental illness affects not only the individual, but everyone from
friends and families to entire communities, no matter how big or small.”
