Breaking Through the Stigma

Breaking through the stigma associated with mental illness is something that we need to bring to light. Spreading the word and talking about it is the first step. People are afraid of what they don’t know and, in most cases, people have not taken the time to understand such a complex issue. Lets face it, if it doesn’t affect you directly you’re not to concerned about researching it. Every day people continue to live in their small world, their box of life, not venturing out into the unknown unless forced too. What can you personally do to contribute, spread the word? We can only control our own actions so it’s up to you to do something!!! Check out www.nami.org/template.cfm?section=fight_stigma to see how you can help. If you know of any additonal websites or organizations that people can visit to help please let me know! – XOXO CrazyInHeels
