The government has finally agreed to officially recognize July 21 as a day to focus on mental health awareness in honor of Robin. Seeing his legacy used to break down this stigma feels like the start of the healing we have needed for so long.

Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien – but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most – from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. Please help by making July 21 a national day of mental health awareness and also to remember Robin for all his contributions to charities and his generous help to all people less fortunate than him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX54_hJSQyM

I have spent hours reading through your stories about how Robin Williams touched your lives and the personal battles you face every day. These messages remind me how vital it is to push past the silence and replace the stigma with genuine compassion. We are keeping this momentum going to ensure that no one feels like they have to hide their struggle.

Seeing this momentum grow proves that people really do want to honor his legacy and break the silence around mental health. It is deeply moving to see so many of you connect with this mission in such a short amount of time.

Lets make awareness that depression & other mental disorders are in fact a dease not to be taken lightly. I would like to make sure that everyone with a mental illness like Robin Williams & myself get treatment before it's too late.
I myself have Bipolar 2 disorder, and I would love to see a day where awarness is made to everyone. There is a stigma when it comes to mental health, I'm am on disability because of it and I lie when I tell people I am on disability because of the reaction I have gotten from telling the truth.
There needs to be more awareness and less stigma surrounding mental illness so that when people like Robin can get proper and understanding treatment before suicide is the only option left. A day to raise awareness, dispel myths and to help those who need it should be in place and I wholeheartedly support this initiative.
PLEZ make this day a NATIONAL rememberance of this man who gave us the joy even tho he was in a bad way himself :( :( :(....this would b a honor 2 him and all those who loved him <3 <3
Its a great way to honor him however we should really honor the fact mental illness is real and needs to bring awareness. So I think we should yes honor him for his great work and the great person but at the same time he may have left the earth but we can take this event for people to maybe wake up and get help before it's too late.
We need to remember Robin Williams
he is so very much missed I know he has a special place in heaven
