With an OPEN mind is thankful for the courageous and inspirational work done by our spokepeople. Like so many of us, Linda, Lisa , and Pat all have experience with mental illness. But what sets these three
individulas apart is their willingness to share their experience with others in hopes of dispelling the many myths and misunderstandings surrounding mental illness. The stigma of having a mental health problem
creates a roadblock to reaching out for help.There is a tendency for people who do not fully understand what mental illness is to simply ignore their pain. When people open their minds, we change how
the public perceives mental illness, encourage acceptance of those with mental illness and enable people to reach out for the help they need.
Thank you Lisa, Linda, and Pat.
