FnT 174: Why ending mental health stigma matters more than ever with Laverne Friesen
In today’s episode, we talk with Laverne Friesen, who is on a mission to raise awareness about the damaging effects of mental health stigma. We delve into the critical importance of ending mental health stigma and its profound impact on our lives and society. Drawing from personal experiences and real-life stories, we explore how stigma prevents individuals from seeking help, affects employment and productivity, and the benefits of supportive work environments, affects relationships and leads to social isolation, and even influences our physical health. We touch also on the role of advocacy and education in changing perceptions and reducing stigma. By sharing personal stories and insights, we aim to raise awareness and encourage a more compassionate approach to mental health. Let's work together to break the silence and support those who need it most.
