Mental Illness Awareness Week Social Media Campaign Guide
(October 7-13, 2018)
2018 Theme: "CureStigma"
Why this cause is important: One in 5 Americans
is affected by mental health conditions. Stigma is
toxic to their mental health because it creates an
environment of shame, fear and silence that
prevents many people from seeking help and
treatment. The perception of mental illness won’t
change unless we act to change it.
Campaign manifesto: There’s a virus spreading
across America. It harms the 1 in 5 Americans
affected by mental health conditions. It shames
them into silence. It prevents them from seeking
help. And in some cases, it takes lives. What virus
are we talking about? It’s stigma. Stigma against
people with mental health conditions. But there’s
good news. Stigma is 100% curable. Compassion,
empathy and understanding are the antidote. Your
voice can spread the cure. Join NAMI, the National
Alliance on Mental Illness. Together we can
