While mental health concerns are being normalized, there is still stigma that keeps folks from getting help. Storytelling and learning about people's experiences can help change the conversation around mental health.
“Combatting the Stigma of Mental Health” is designed to encourage and equip students and young adults with the tools and education necessary to engage in the conversation surrounding mental health and mental illness. Through vulnerability, Abraham shares his mental health story and addresses the common myths of mental illness, the negative effects of stigma, and ways to effectively combat stigma.
This event features Active Minds national speaker Abraham Sculley, as he shares his experience as a college student living with a mental health condition. Abraham has spoken to over 1000 individuals about his experience and facilitates workshops and events across the country.
Abraham graduated from the University of West Florida with his bachelor’s degree in Psychology. He is now a certified Mental Health First Aid advocate and uses his passion to inspire others. He continues to use his story to promote the importance of mental health and assist others in reaching their highest potential in their physical, spiritual, and mental health.
This event is hosted by the Wellness Resource Center and Active Minds at Temple University.
