I pledge to combat the stigma of mental illness by promising to educate myself on the signs of mental illness, learn about how to best help people with mental illness, and always be a person of acceptance and care so that those I know who have a mental illness will be able to find a support system in me.

Reading through the comments you have all left has been moving and reminds me that I am just holding the pen while you provide the heart behind this. I have been spending my evenings researching local resources to share because your stories deserve more than just a pledge.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you have joined this effort to reach out to one another. This movement belongs entirely to you and your commitment to showing up for those around you.
