I Pledge To:
- Learn about stigma and how it affects others.
- Have open conversations about stigma, particularly mental health stigma.
- Spread the word and tell at least one person about the Stigma-Free Tool and encourage others to assess their own perceptions of stigma.
- Respect and include all people regardless of their mental health, physical or developmental disabilities, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, etc.
- Stand up for people who are bullied.
- Avoid using language that can degrade someone’s sense of worth.
- Reflect on my responses to daily situations and ‘check’ my attitude where I may initially judge someone who faces stigma
