The StigmaFree campaign is NAMI’s effort to end stigma and create a home for those affected by mental illness. Through powerful words and actions, we can shift the social and systematic barriers for those living with mental illness conditions.

1. Being an ally to people with mental health conditions 

2. Treating each person as an individual and not as diagnosis

3. Understanding that everyone is different and needs help in different ways

4. Speaking up when I see other being mistreated or stigmatized because of their mental health

You can start now by sharing your StigmaFree status on social media. Try posting these messages below:

With time and your help, mental illness will be empathized and understood rather than stigmatized and masked in silence. The societal perception of mental illness won’t change if we don’t take action to change it.

Together we can make Detroit #StigmaFree313!
