Did you know?
Most people with schizophrenia are more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators. Yet media coverage often reinforces the opposite stereotype, contributing to fear and misunderstanding. Spreading awareness to schizophrenia can help break stigma surrounding the disorder! by @beyondthestigmaar

May 24 is World Schizophrenia Day!
Schizophrenia affects millions of people worldwide, but the misunderstanding surrounding it continues to impact everyday lives. At Beyond the Stigma, we believe awareness starts with education and empathy!!
People are more than a diagnosis, and understanding can make a bigger difference than most realize. by @beyondthestigmaar

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a reminder that mental health is an essential part of overall health!!
This month, take a moment to check in with yourself and the people around you. Start a conversation, listen without judgment, learn about mental illnesses like schizophrenia, and challenge stereotypes when you hear them.
Schizophrenia is one of the most misunderstood mental illnesses, and stigma often prevents people from seeking help or feeling accepted. Education and empathy are powerful tools for change.

This May, you can help by:
• Learning the facts about mental health and schizophrenia
• Checking in on a friend or loved one
• Speaking up when you hear harmful stereotypes
• Supporting mental health organizations and research
• Leading with empathy

Awareness is the first step, but action creates change. by @beyondthestigmaar

You might be wondering, why schizophrenia?

I’m Isabel Bright, the founder of Beyond the Stigma!

Schizophrenia is one of the most misunderstood mental illnesses (and one of the least talked about).

This cause is deeply personal to me. Multiple members of my family have been affected by schizophrenia, and I’ve seen firsthand how stigma, silence, and lack of awareness can be just as damaging as the illness itself.

I started this organization to educate, advocate, and remind people that those living with schizophrenia are more than a diagnosis! by @beyondthestigmaar
