Speaking Out on Mental Health |
|
|
|
|
| Every day can be a Mental Health Awareness day when you participate in the year-long Nassau County Campaign to End Stigma and Discrimination.
Launched in September, this premier county-wide initiative promotes public awareness about how common mental illnesses really are and how effective treatment is. The banner theme, “1 in 5 people will experience a mental illness,” appears on posters, brochures, print and radio public service announcements. These media and community outreach materials add, “Mental illness does not discriminate, and neither should you.” The campaign features true Nassau County consumers of mental health services, who personalize the message: “Give everyone a chance, with employment, with housing and most of all with respect.”
