Description
Step Up For Mental Health: Changing minds about mental health and its impact on families
Step Up For Mental Health (formerly AJW Foundation) is a peer-to-peer advocacy group providing support, assistance and education. First, we support individuals dealing with a mental health disorder. Secondly, we assist family members caring for someone with a mental illness and, thirdly, we educate the public on mental health issues. We are here to share personal stories and help others make sense of the stigma and fear associated with illnesses like depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
