Host a Human Library Event
This is an excellent and proven way to educate your organization, congregation, campus, or business. The power of persons’ stories of living with behavioral health concerns, the journey of recovery, and the personal stories of family members and support networks foster empathy and understanding.
Listen, learn, dialogue, and help to end the stigma and stereotypes too often associated with and creating barriers for persons living with behavioral health concerns.
