YOUR SUPPORT IN ACTION
Your Generosity Is Changing the Conversation
When you give to Stop Stigma Together, you help replace silence with understanding. Your support funds the work of bringing together clinicians, researchers, advocates and people with lived experience to challenge the stigma around mental health and substance use disorders.
Stigma keeps people from asking for help, getting care and staying in treatment. Every gift helps bring us closer to a world where seeking mental health care is seen as a sign of strength and not something to hide.
Task Forces
Our task forces bring together experts and advocates to find where stigma shows up in [healthcare, workplaces, schools, policy] and build practical ways to address it. Your support helps these groups turn shared knowledge into tools and recommendations that organizations can put to work.
Research
Lasting change has to rest on evidence. We support and share research on how stigma affects people’s access to care and their outcomes, and on which approaches work best to reduce it.
Convenings
Change speeds up when the right people are in the same room. Our convenings bring together leaders in healthcare, research, policy and advocacy, along with people with lived experience, to share what’s working and plan coordinated action. Your gift helps make these events possible.
