Hello friends,

When we use arcane words to describe people living with a mental health
diagnosis we're going to see the ramifications that is the stereotypes. For
example what images do you see when you hear the word mentally ill? Now,
what images do you see when you hear mental health challenge? My job centers
around decreasing stigma and empowering people to manage their symptoms. The
company I work for focuses on wellness and recovery.

From,
Lisa Irving
