VISION: A world free of stigma where all people embrace acceptance and understanding of one another. MISSION: To offer educational tools & leadership which foster awareness of stigma, providing pathways to change. VALUES: Be Inclusive – Be Respectful Be Inspiring – Be The Solution Our resources support you in educating students, teenagers, and young people in your life on mental wellbeing and stigma. In addition, we are proud to offer programs tailored for rural residents and families ensuring that everyone, regardless of their location, has the knowledge they need to foster a stigma-free community.
