A New Journey...

Today, it is the birth of "Stop The Stigma." I have created this group, this organization with the hopes of helping to educate others on mental illness and promote mental health.

Without our health, we have nothing. And hopefully with more access, and more information on getting the proper support and proper information on mental health and illnesses, we will be able to STOP THE STIGMA attached to mental illnesses. Make it OK to talk about it. Not be ashamed if we are dealing with a mental illness, or know someone who is. It is a very common disease, right now with 1 in every 5 Canadians dealing with a mental illness. And, great news-ALL mental illness are treatable.
So, hopefully with sites like this. With all the information and resources available to us, we will be able to help ourselves, and others and promote Mental Health!
"Mental health means striking a balance in all aspects of your life; socially, physically, spiritually, economically and mentally. Coming to a balance is a learning curve. You may tip the balance too much one way and have to find your footing again." -CMHA
