What is Stigma?

"Stigma" is the word used to denote the stereotypes, shame, and discrimination associated with mental illness, which impairs the ability for individuals and families to find and maintain treatment. Hufsa's life purpose is to smash this stigma. For more on what stigma is, click here.
