What is SQUASH STIGMA all about?

Squish Stigma Defeat Discrimination also known as S.S.D.D is an organization created to help put an end to stigma and discrimination against students living with a mental illness. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have created multiple resources to help teachers educate their students on the harmful effects of stigma and discrimination. 
EXAMPLES OF RESOURCES WE INCLUDED:
Things that should and shouldn’t be said to someone with a mental illness
INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES!
Our ​thoughts on Mental Illness and Stigma and much more! 
Our campaigns purpose is to attempt to minimize stigma and discrimination relating to mental health. We hope that one day students living with mental health will not be stigmatized or discriminated against.
 
Our goal is to educate people who are interested in learning about the stigma around mental health. We want to provide the information we feel neccessary to help people be aware around the discrimination that is associated with the stigma. We aim to educate youth, parents and teachers around the stigma and we hope to encourage these people to stop the discrimination around them. Our focus is around both the stigma and the education of what mental health is as well as the impact it has on people when they have more of an understanding around mental health.
