#NoMoreStigma Campaign - Advocates Pledge

What is a Mental Health Advocate?
 
A Mental Health Anti-Stigma Advocate is someone who is dedicated to resolving the mental health stigma in black communities. They are therefore aware of the harmful effects that stigmatising words, comments, phrases and behaviour have on people who try to talk about their mental health issues. They highlight, educate and challenge any form of stigmatisation, whether it be amongst family, friends or colleagues. They show compassion to others with regards to their mental health and seek to be able to spot the early warning signs of a mental illness. Anti-Stigma Advocates are aware of and promote a range of mainstream and grassroots mental health organisations for those in need.
