STIGMA PERPETUATED

I published the following not long ago. But it’s an important truth and I must make sure it’s heard:

“As long as people with lived experience are being talked about and not heard, stigma will be perpetuated, not reduced. Only by hearing the voices of those who suffer can compassion be aroused.”

. . . and if we’re going to find it in our heart to truly be there for those who suffer, we need to hear their voices.
