      Stigma-Free Zone!

    • The Bergen County STIGMA-FREE Initiative

       is a county-wide program which aims to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness. We are dedicated to raising awareness of the disease of mental illness and create a culture wherein residents who have the disease feel supported by their community and neighbors and feel free to seek treatment for the disease without fear of stigma.

      Joining the Stigma-Free Initiative will:

      • Educate residents that mental illness is a disease and must be treated as such

      • Raise awareness of the prevalence of mental illness in our community

      • Provoke public interest in learning what is “STIGMA-FREE”

      • Providing residents an opportunity to become involved in their community

      • Allow people living with the disease to feel supported by their community and thus decrease feelings of isolation and shame

      • Link people in need to local mental health resources

      • Raise awareness that care is accessible regardless of income
