Please consider joining us to "Stomp the Stigma" surrounding mental illness and suicide. Our guest speaker, a graduate of the UNC School of Nursing having received her MPH from UNC as well. She has written books about assisting families navigating the mental health care system in North Caroline and worked as the Health Coordinator for Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools for 30 years. Her speech will offer students the opportunity to dive deeper into the world of mental health care, specifically in North Carolina, and how we as students can work towards a future of better, more accessible, mental health care. Additionally, this event will offer a variety of resources that will engage students in thinking about mental health beyond just an emotional sense, but rather how things like mental health impact individuals daily lives as well as the difference in mental health across various communities and cultures. By addressing these differences in mental health and the accessibility of mental health care in various communities and cultures, it allows us to better support those around us and focus on person-centered care as not everyone will benefit from the same thing. Let's work together to end this stigma surrounding mental illness and suicide and work towards a future where no one lives without mental health care!
