National Alliance on Mental Illness Launches StigmaFree Campaign May is Mental Health Month
National Alliance on Mental Illness Launches StigmaFree Campaign May is Mental Health Month
WASHINGTON, May 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 1, to support Mental Health Month, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and the philosophy hope & grace initiative are joining forces to launch the StigmaFree campaign.
The StigmaFree campaign
urges individuals, companies, organizations and campuses to create an
American culture in which the stigma that is often associated with
mental health conditions is ended and replaced by hope and support for
recovery.
"Stigma
free environments promote and support acceptance and respect, while
encouraging the help-seeking that makes recovery possible," comments
NAMI Executive Director Mary Giliberti.
"It is our hope that this campaign will drive individuals and their
families to be open about mental illness and get the help they need."
Assistance,
tools and resources will be available in the coming months for
organizations, companies and other groups to ensure a successful
partnership.
To join the movement, go to NAMI.org and take the pledge to be stigma free by:
1. Learning about mental health—educating yourself and others;
2. Seeing the person not the illness—striving to listen, understand and tell my own story; and
3. Taking action—spread the word, raise awareness and make a difference.

In addition to taking the pledge, support stigma free living on social media with the hashtag #iamstigmafree.
NAMI
is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated
to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by
mental illness. What started as a small group of families gathered
around a kitchen table in 1979 has blossomed into the nation's leading
voice on mental health. Today, we are an association of hundreds of
local affiliates, state organizations and volunteers who work in your
community to raise awareness and provide support and education that was
not previously available to those in need. NAMI relies on gifts and
contributions to support our important work.
