Hi Everyone, 👋 @stigmafreesocietysfs
I’m excited to announce my collaboration, with the Stigma-Free Society ❣️
I’m teaming up with Stigma-Free Society as one of their Champions, to share my story and advocate for mental health!
Do you know someone struggling? Perhaps you might say: "I really want to be with you and explore what's going on for you with curiosity." Followed up with: "I've never experienced that, what's that like for you❓" Then, truly listen.
Together, we can create brave spaces, for individuals to break their silence, by providing unbiased support while coming alongside with curiosity. In this way, we will ensure the individual has access to informed choice and resources.

Each stigma-free champion, has lived experience with mental health challenges and/or stigma, and is passionate about the subject. Through campaigns and social media, Stigma-Free Champions help spread the message of living Stigma-Free."
