“I want the badges to start a conversation, make everyone feel part of something and help them brave the path to ending stigma.” – Kat Selwyn

Kat created #EndTheStigma ‘badges’ to remind people experiencing a mental health condition that they’re not alone. People all around the world have jumped on board sharing the badges and their incredible personal stories – helping to smash the stigma and show that mental health conditions don’t discriminate; they affect anyone, anywhere. We strongly support the idea of ‘calling out’ discrimination experienced by people affected by depression, anxiety and suicide so it is no longer ignored, expected or accepted.

These statistics put feelings of isolation into a different perspective. A comforting reminder for all those who see themselves as "the odd one out".

As a badge used with anonymity, they're great. I couldn't use these with my real name though; too personally confronting.

Hey Chris. Suicide attempt survivor, depression, anxiety. The list is endless. Most of us can relate to any/all. I'm with Paul, THANKS. Makes me feel not so isolated. Lynda
