Welcome to
May is Mental Health Awareness Month
#StigmaFreeZone
Mental health stigma refers to the negative attitudes, beliefs and stereotypes that society holds about individuals who experience mental health conditions. It is a form of social discrimination and prejudice that can lead to various negative consequences for those affected by mental health issues.
Our goal is to change perceptions and reduce the stigma of mental illnesses by encouraging people to talk about them.
Mental health conditions are more prevalent than heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, migraines, osteoporosis and asthma, yet misconception and misinformation have left many people with mental health disorders afraid to talk about their experiences or to seek help.
Follow our Facebook page – CTBHcare during the month of May to learn mental health facts.
YOU can be the one that helps.
Friends and family can be important influences to help someone get the treatment and services they need by:
- Reaching out and letting them know you are available to help
- Helping them access mental health services
- Help them learn self-care and coping techniques
- Learning and sharing facts about mental health
- Treating them with respect
- Refusing to define them by their diagnosis
