By Meichle Latham

During May, Mental Health Awareness Month, I am excited to launch a fun and charitable challenge throughout the month to both raise awareness and take action to help #EndTheStigma of mental health conditions and diagnoses. 

As a proud member of the Erie County Anti-Stigma Coalition (https://letstalkstigma.org/members/meichle-l-latham/), I invite you to participate in the challenge to support the Anti-Stigma Coalition!

Individuals who Take the Pledge will be in the running for a complimentary one-hour Pedi-purpose session (coaching while walking, $150 value) with me: https://letstalkstigma.org/pledge/. To date, 4,332 individuals have taken the pledge to end the stigma of mental illness.

Organizations/businesses who join the most prominent mental health organizations, community thought leaders and local businesses/corporations and become a member (no cost) will be in the running for a complementary one-hour workplace wellness session with me: https://letstalkstigma.org/membership-form/. More than 100 organizations and businesses have joined the Coalition to change public perceptions of mental health!

Also, I will match up to $50 for every individual and organizational donation made to support the Anti-Stigma Coalition’s campaign. Please call me at (716) 539-0498 or email me at me*****@***********am.com to get that set up!

Together, we are making a difference!
