Breaking the Stigma symposium starts conversations about mental health
May is Mental Health Month and a special symposium on the subject will be held at Wayne State University on Friday. The event is called Breaking the Stigma and the underlying idea is to make people less reluctant to talk about mental health issues.
Shantalea Johns is an assistant professor and director of continuing education at Wayne State’s School of Social Work. She says she hopes the symposium will provide Detroiters with a safe space to discuss mental health issues. Jones would like attendees to take some action after the event ends and ask their loved ones how they’re doing.
The Breaking the Stigma symposium takes place at Wayne State University’s MacGregor Conference Center from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
