Stop the Stigma!

The annual Stop the Stigma event will be held on May 10 from 10 am to 2 pm at Henry Mayo Hospital. This event is held in order to remove the stigma associated with seeking help for mental illness.

The organizer, Barbara Wilson from our congregation, has reported that mental health problems are increasing as students fear that their immigrant parents will be deported, and that there is an increase in the number of trans people attempting suicide. Both are the result of government policies that further marginalize people in these groups.
