Washington, DC, October 7, 2022 (PAHO) – The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) is launching #DoYourShare to support mental health, a campaign that seeks to curb the stigma and discrimination experienced by people with mental health conditions, and promote positive interactions that improve their search for help.
Various studies show that stereotypes, prejudices, and discriminatory behaviors towards people with mental health problems are common.
Through messages on social media, using #DoYourShare, people are invited to break the silence, share their stories, and have an open and honest conversation about how one really feel, and thereby, provide mental health support and reduce stigma and discrimination.
