The mental health movement is more visible than ever, but why do we still unintentionally look down on it? In collaboration with YouTuber Tyreke Simmonds, we dive into the silent stigma surrounding mental wellness and explore why we often downplay or misrepresent mental health struggles without realizing it. Building on Tyreke's insights, this video discusses the ongoing issues in workplaces, schools, and everyday conversations, and how we can collectively shift the narrative.

From understanding how humor and self-diagnosis perpetuate stigma to exploring ways we can talk about mental health with empathy and respect, this video is part of a bigger mission to normalize mental health conversations. We’re excited to collaborate with other creators advocating for mental wellness, and together, we aim to create a world where mental health is treated with the seriousness it deserves.
