This one-of-a-kind project by Mental Health America invites people who struggle with mental illnesses to break the silence and share their stories. We all know how empowering human connections are to those seeking wellness and recovery. By speaking out about your experiences, you help give a voice to the 57.7 million American adults—and as many as one in 10 children—who have a mental health disorder.
Your story will help bust the stigma that keeps people from getting care and perpetuates misunderstanding about those affected by mental health disorders. We think there’s no better antidote to that misunderstanding than the real lives of real people. And there’s no better antidote to silence than speaking out.
Together, we can help others and kick open the door to the truth about mental illness: that it ’s real, common and treatable.
So tell your story and give a real voice to a great cause. Your story can change a life, and even save one.
