It is the mission of the Stand Against Stigma Movement to reduce stigmatizing language, thoughts, and behaviors by promoting positivity, hope, inclusion, and acceptance of behavioral health issues throughout the community.

Behavioral health covers the full range of mental and emotional well-being; from the basics of how we cope with day-to-day challenges of life, to the treatment of mental illnesses, such as depression or personality disorder, as well as substance use disorder and other addictive behaviors.

The Stand Against Stigma Movement does not stand up for just one sub-group of behavioral health. It is the aim of this Movement to end ALL stigma surrounding mental illness and substance use disorders.
