Our main project resulting from this study is our ‘Break the Stigma‘ campaign, which was focused on collecting a cultural mosaic of perspectives from professionals, academics and people with lived experience to create healing resources and collective wisdom.
Break The Stigma Campaign
Break The Stigma is a project that is dedicated to reducing the stigma surrounding mental health. We are collecting a cultural mosaic of perspectives from professionals, academics and people with lived experience to share traditional knowledge, techniques and personal stories on mental health, illness and imbalances to create healing resources. We hope you will find answers that work for you and find a safe space to share experiences and create collective wisdom.
If you wish to have a voice, paving a path to a world with more compassion, empathy and open dialogue, please share your story! You can reach out to madeson@student.ubc.ca.
