Stigma
Hearing voices, like left-handedness, is just another characteristic of being human. Young people from the Voice Collective came together to create this stigma busting animation to show the difficulties people who hear voices face and how our acceptance would make them feel less alone.
The annual Bell Let’s Talk awareness campaign iis helping to reduce stigma, and promote understanding about mental health.
Actress & activist Glenn Close co-founded Bring Change to Mind in 2010 after her sister, Jessie Close, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and her nephew, Calen Pick, with schizoaffective disorder. Their mission is to end the stigma and discrimination surrounding mental illness.
