@EM203_LSmith Great Qs, Lindsay! It's important to be supportive and empathetic, to listen non-judgmentally, and to help connect them with supports and services as needed/desired. The best way to reduce stigma is education. Programs like https://t.co/LN2NX3K0Ju or @mhfa_pssmcanada can help.
@asktheproff what are some good resources/simple ways to support someone with a mental illness or help reduce the stigma surrounding mental health? #asktheprofessor

Everyone will be affected by #mentalillness in their lifetime, either directly or indirectly, yet it is still surrounded by #stigma. In order to eliminate this stigma we must continue having a conversation about #mentalhealth and #educate people on the topic 🧠 #psychoeducation
Educating people about mental health can help reduce the stigma around it, whether this is formalized through an educational institution, a mental health association, or a conversation between friends #EM203Robin
.@CMHA_NTL has lots of useful information and resources available on their website, including public education designed to teach people about mental health and increase public awareness, ultimately working towards reducing stigma https://t.co/O6YC2vls0a 🧠 #EM203Robin
