Educate your Community about Mental Health and Stigma
The Sing! for Mental Health Project was designed to shine a light on exceptional people in New Jersey who are educating their own communities about mental health and stigma. Through art, music, and dance, they are creating uplifting and life-affirming messages about mental health awareness, stomping out stigma, and encouraging people to seek treatment when needed.
