Help Eliminate the Stigma

Did you know mental illnesses are as common as silver cars and brown eyes? Yet the stigma prevents many people from seeking help for an average of 10 years! The Make It OK campaign is designed to help everyone in our community learn, talk, and share about mental illness, work to remove the stigma, and help connect individuals and families to resources available. Make It OK is a community campaign to reduce stigma by starting conversations and increasing understanding about mental illness.

Made possible by HealthPartners, Inc. this campaign has gained traction in Minnesota and Iowa, helping to reduce stigma and start meaningful conversations. Now YOU can help by having Peace River Center present to your church or civic group or sharing about mental illness on social media. Email us to request a 30-minute Make It OK presentation.
