Everyone has their own experiences with mental health. Sometimes sharing your story can help on your journey to becoming the best you. Hearing the stories of others reassures us that we are not alone and can provide inspiration and hope for the future. Stamp Out Stigma has a panel of guest speakers that you can bring to your school or organization to share their experiences with mental illness. Their profiles and stories are listed below. You can also find the stories of others who wished to share their experiences with us anonymously. If you are interested in sharing your own story you can submit a request to be a guest speaker, panelist, or anonymous sharer. We'd love to hear from you!

Her story touches on post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. She is now dedicating her life to becoming a marriage and family therapist in order to help reduce mental health stigma and help those in need.
