At De-mentes, we are currently promoting the #ShareYourStory campaign throughout the country, an initiative that seeks to create a stigma-free conversation about mental health that contributes to eliminating the taboos surrounding this branch of public health.
This campaign encourages social media users to share their personal stories in the pursuit of good mental health, either publicly or anonymously, through a dedicated space on our website: https://dementes.programate.pe/recursos/voces-de-nuestra-comunidad/. We have been sharing excerpts from these stories on our Facebook and Twitter pages, reaching thousands of people through social media in recent days.
From our organization, we firmly believe that initiating stigma-free conversations about mental health has the potential to change and save lives. Furthermore, it allows us to raise public awareness, demonstrating that mental health conditions are more common than commonly believed and that it is necessary to begin eliminating taboos so that more people can seek or access the help they need.
Join this movement and #ShareYourStory!
