Stamp Out Stigma Program (SOS)
Heart and Soul, Inc
Description:
An educational outreach program designed to dispel common myths surrounding mental illness. Members of the SOS speakers' bureau present a brief bio-sketch of how mental illness has affected their lives, relating their own experience with stigma and how they have worked to change the perceptions of others. Audience members are encouraged to ask questions and share their own perceptions. SOS also provides consultation to employers in defining "reasonable accommodations" under the Americans with Disabilities Act for mentally ill persons in the workplace.Location
