Stop the shame. Stop the blame. Stop the stigma.
Do you care about someone struggling with mental health or substance use disorder? Take the time to sit down and speak with the person. Show them that you will listen and that you care. Use supportive language: When did you start feeling this way? Can you tell me what happened to you? (NOT What’s wrong with you?)
