For many individuals who struggle with depression, substance abuse, and other mental health concerns, the stigma that is often received from others may be a barrier preventing someone from getting the help they need to recover and live well. As a result, creating public awareness and developing health education campaigns to both reduce the stigma and eliminate the discrimination that is associated with depression is essential in order to help all within the community to come together in support of one another and to increase the likelihood that community members live well.
