So how do we create this safe and supportive environment.
Here are some steps to combat mental health stigma!
Educate yourself on mental health and share this knowledge
Listen to others without judgement
Speak up and correct those who do stigmatize
Talk openly about mental health

It is absolutely essential to prioritize mental health
No one should feel like they are alone in their mental health journey or without the resources and support they need.
