“S.O.S. Stomp Out Stigma”
Cathy Renee Lewis |
|
Mentally ill people not only have to live with a persistent mental challenge, they also face and have to live with the stigma attached to their mental illness by our society. They are treated with disrespect and discrimination in every day situations such as housing, employment, medical. Stomp Out Stigma is a program that works to educate people about mentally ill people; we are not monsters, we are not crazies, weirdoes, idiots; we are a part of everyday life in society. Our altar is aimed to stand out/up against stigma right here in Nevada County. Spirit Peers for Independence & Recovery, Inc. |
