Stop the Stigma 2024

The *Stop the Stigma* event, hosted by Uhai for Health, brought together individuals from across the community to address critical issues surrounding mental health, substance misuse, and suicide. Attendees were particularly moved by the personal stories shared during the event, which created an open and supportive atmosphere for discussing often-taboo topics. The use of lived experiences made the discussions relatable and impactful, fostering deeper understanding and empathy.
