I’m glad this group is here and I just wanted to say hello.
Eliminating the stigma surrounding mental health is something that is really important to me, as I have, in addition to my own mental health struggles, many family members affected by depression. I have also lost two loved ones to suicide. I strongly believe that if there was not so much stigma around mental and emotional illness that these people would still be alive today. I look forward to seeing this group grow. I dream of a future where people can talk about mental health the same way they might talk about having a cold or a broken leg.
