Mental Health Stigma Reduction Campaign

The Wellbeing Partners and The Public Good Projects (PGP) – with support from the Douglas, Sarpy/Cass, and Pottawattamie county health departments, the Metro Area Planning Agency (MAPA), and the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Public Health – are working to change the conversation around mental health in Omaha, Council Bluffs, and surrounding counties. We believe that ending stigma takes all of us and that community organizations, like yours, are key to our success.

As part of this work, we launched the Mental Health Stigma Reduction Campaign on July 30, 2020. The aim of the campaign is to reduce mental health stigma by 10% in Douglas, Sarpy, Cass, and Pottawattamie counties. This is only possible with the help of organizations, workplaces, and community members like you.

We’ve created shareable resources designed to support your work and to be shared with your community. We encourage you to download and share these materials widely with your communities and networks to end mental health stigma together.
