Battling stigma - Mad Pride 2011

RUOK Looking Down

This year ReachOut.com was proud to support the 2011 Mad Pride Youth Event by the Weave Youth Arts Centre, held on Friday 1st July in Sydney.

This annual event works to breakdown stigma and celebrate humanity, which it does through the exchange of information, arts and cultural activities. It aims to raise awareness of dual diagnosis (coexisting mental health & substance use issues) and address some of the taboos associated with young people’s access to mental health services.

Check out the video of the awesome event, and what it meant to the young people involved.

 

 

Want to get active on reducing stigma about mental health in your local community? Check out the upcoming RUOK? Day events in September!
