We’ve all heard the awkward comments, the myths, the moments that make us pause and think, “Do people still believe that about mental health?” The truth is—stigma still exists, but we’re seeing it slowly start to shift. In this workshop, we sit down with a therapist, a psychiatric provider, and a representative from our local health department to talk honestly about how stigma shows up in our communities—and how we can break it down, together. In this conversation, we explore: -How stigma starts to break down when we open up within our own circles. -The impact of phrases like “Can you fix my kid?” -Why maternal mental health still carries silence and shame—and how we're working to change that. -The myth that mental health care is only for those “in crisis”. -How community resources—like libraries—play a role in collective mental wellness. This roundtable is honest, hopeful, and rooted in real experiences from those working on the frontlines of mental health care in our communities.
