NoStigmas raises awareness to erase the stigmas of suicide and mental illness by sharing stories of hope and inspiration
A cross-border partnership to end the stigmas associated with suicide and mental illness has been created under the banner of NoStigmas.org—with participants from both Canada and the U.S. Ottawa-based Ray Folkins has joined Chicago-based Jake Moore in his ongoing efforts to develop collaborative partnership programs to help people implement life-changing and life-enhancing strategies. Both men have ‘lived experience’ with anxiety and depression and are now focused on helping others—and particularly, to help erase the stigmas related to mental health issues among youth and adults.
NoStigmas.org provides opportunities to share personal stories of living with mental illness and offers ways to thrive through life-long forms of exercise in an environment of supportive camaraderie.
We speak with Jake Moore, of NoStigmas U.S., and with Ray Folkins, of NoStigmas Canada.
