%

More than 20% of Americans experience a diagnosable mental illness every year...

but they rarely get the help that will allow them to live and perform at their best.

Why_

Because of the myths that perpetuate the Isolation Cycle of mental illness.

Break the
Isolation Cycle

Our keynotes dispel the myths surrounding mental illness...

and inspire a culture of mental wellbeing and psychological safety.

Isolation Cycle Pink-min

Myth:
The myths we've taught ourselves about mental illness generate stigma.

"Depression isn't a real illness, it's a choice"

Stigma:
The insidious stigma attached to the disease and those who experience it causes shame.

"People with depression are just weak."

Shame:
Feelings of shame for those who struggle with mental illness. So, we silence.

"What's wrong with me? Why am I weak?"

Silence:
So we stay silent, and the cycle perpetuates itself.

"I can't tell anyone."
