Writer: AJ  GarboskiAJ Garboski

Why Mental Health Matters

Mental health affects every aspect of our lives—our relationships, work performance, and overall well-being. Yet, stigma prevents many from seeking the support they need. It’s time to change the conversation and normalize mental health care.

The Impact of Mental Health Stigma

  • Prevents Help-Seeking: Many avoid therapy or support due to fear of judgment.

  • Creates Misinformation: Myths about mental health conditions contribute to misunderstanding.

  • Affects Workplace & Social Life: Stigma can lead to discrimination and isolation.
