In the best of times, mental health stigma limits people from seeking treatment that would alleviate suffering. Outreach is a key component of community mental health that shares the safety, normalcy, and success of mental health engagement in an effort to reduce stigma. The pandemic not only brought increased stressors in a variety of ways, but it virtually shut down community outreach efforts which were primarily person to person in public settings. Please join us as Gustavo Roman gives us insight into the adaptations that outreach has achieved and how they continue their efforts to engage the community during the pandemic |

Students may be reluctant to seek mental health help due to the stigma of being labeled as a person with a mental health condition. This reluctance and the resulting delay in seeking treatment can result in additional suffering and risk for our youth. Fortunately student groups in several area schools are directly addressing stigma, normalizing and validating mental health support, and making their campuses safer. Please join us as Lupita Castro goes more in depth about this important topic, including direct efforts at Imperial Valley College. |
