Send us a text
Seth Kahan shares his journey from personal tragedy to leading a national movement against mental health stigma after his mother developed schizophrenia when he was 10 years old.
His experience pioneering frameworks for grand challenges led him to launch Stop Stigma Together, a collaborative initiative uniting major mental health organizations to eliminate stigma around mental health and substance use disorders.
• Seth's mother developed schizophrenia when he was 10, destroying his family and shaping his future work
• The Stop Stigma Together initiative works with major mental health organizations and launched the "Love Your Mind" campaign with the Ad Council
• Education works for reducing stigma in children, while adults need to see people like themselves managing mental health challenges
• The SSTCommunity website provides free resources and brings together task forces focused on different aspects of mental health stigma
• Mental health stigma exists in three dimensions: structural (laws/policies), social (interactions), and personal (private thoughts)
• Seth overcame his own internalized stigma toward his mother through cognitive behavioral therapy
• Policy work on mental health parity is crucial to ensure insurance companies treat mental health equally to physical health
• Finding someone to talk to is the most important first step for anyone struggling with mental health issues
