I pledge to speak to community groups

I pledge to speak to community groups about mental health and the need to talk about it in order to remove the stigma associated with mental illness because stigma leads to feelings of shame, which can lead to people not getting the help they need and sadly to some people taking their lives. I hope mental illness will no longer be something to fear or be ashamed of – and people will ask for the help they need. Anne-Marie Gawen – Unlock Your Wellbeing
