you all are…
(via words-of-a-healing-heart)
It’s been awhile since I’ve created an image of my own. Need to do it more! This is one of my favorite quotes by one of my favorite authors.
This is a speech I made last April at a candlelight vigil to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
What is the Stand Up for Mental Health Campaign About?
Why Is It Time to Stand Up for Mental Health?
Like other groups throughout history, people with a mental illness have been marginalized, discriminated against and made to feel like second class citizens. Others refused to tolerate it, why should you?
By Standing Up for Mental Health, you’ll let others know:
- There is nothing “wrong” with having a mental illness.
- People with a mental illness are not alone in what they are dealing with.
- People with a mental illness shouldn’t feel ashamed or forced to hide their mental illness symptoms and desire for effective treatment.
- Mental health stigma will no longer be tolerated.
Reblog this if you want to erase the stigma and educate others about mental health!
This is dedicated to all of you.
I spoke last night at a candlelight vigil to bring awareness to suicide prevention and to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. I was so nervous, but it was worth it. Please share, and please don’t EVER give up. ♥♥♥
