Washing away the stigma through education and awareness
It is important to Chris' loved ones that the social stigma of mental illness is washed away, the prevalence of the disease in our communities is recognized, and we learn to identify and care for those who may be suffering.
Chris Collins, 20, died by suicide March 29, 2018 after a 3-year battle with anxiety and depression.
We want to heighten awareness and education about anxiety and depression, especially in schools, by encouraging openness and communication, and developing peer-to-peer support.
