I am joining the Stigma Slashers team this year for the 2016 Walk for Mental Health Awareness. Yes, it is the year 2016 and there is still a stigma attached to mental health.

I have fought and continue to fight the good fight against depression and anxiety. I have only recently become more vocal about my mental health history because in the past I was afraid of people looking at me differently or judging me. I now choose to be open about my personal history in hopes of helping others become more courageous to seek help when they are sick.

Join my team and me by either donating or joining us in the walk as we raise awareness and slash the stigma out of mental health! #byestigma
