HFTD's Things We Don’t Say education experience is a peer-led workshop to get this important conversation about being proactive about mental health started. It is designed to teach individuals how to understand self-care and be supportive to proactive mental health care for others through lived-experience sharing, engaging prompts, and the opportunity to take part in this conversation. We press the discussion about stigma, its impact on individuals and communities, and teach practical skills for early recognition of mental health challenges that often go unaddressed due to the silence of stigma, building to a crisis stage. Through Peer-to-peer Proactive Prevention, we can disrupt the highest risk factors before the crisis stage. If we make it OK to talk about mental health, we can save lives.
