In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, this special episode features a candid conversation with three licensed mental health professionals who are on the front lines of the fight against stigma.
Drawing from years of clinical experience and advocacy, our guests discuss the many ways stigma shows up—in therapy rooms, families, workplaces, and communities—and how it keeps people from getting the support they need. From the role of language to the weight of silence, we’ll explore the root causes of stigma and, most importantly, how to challenge it.
In this episode, you'll hear:
- How stigma manifests in everyday life and why it still persists
- The impact of cultural attitudes and fear of judgment
- What professionals are doing to change the narrative
- Practical ways to open up conversations about mental health
- Stories of resilience, support, and recovery
Whether you’re navigating your own mental health journey or looking to support others, this episode offers expert guidance, relatable stories, and actionable tools to help build a more open and supportive culture around mental well-being.
