One in five people have been diagnosed with a mental illness. Yet, unlike diabetes or other physical health conditions, the majority of individuals are fearful to talk about mental illness due to the stigma surrounding it.

 Make It OK is a national campaign, which encourages individuals to talk more openly about mental illness in hopes of de-stigmatizing it so individuals will be more open to seek care.

Join us on Tuesday, Feb. 9, from 2–3 p.m. for this virtual presentation, led by Jami Haberl, Executive Director, the Healthiest State Initiative.  To register, please send an email to linda.feiden@drake.edu.
