A stigma campaign launched by PMHCA and Youth MOVE PA in March 2022 aimed at crushing stigma where it starts, within ourselves. When we believe mental illness makes us less-than valuable to the world, we invite others to believe the same. When we treat ourselves without grace and compassion, we invite others to treat us similarly. But when we recognize our strengths, celebrate our individuality, and take pride in our journey, we show the world how to do the same.
