Understanding Stigma

Stigma, or a fear of being judged for admitting some personal or familial weakness, is the largest barrier to getting the help you need. If you let stigma overcome obvious evidence of a mental health decline or challenge, the end results can be destructive for you and your loved ones. The key to fighting back is realizing that thousands of people experience these challenges, and it is possible to find help.
