Our Why.

It all began with a passion to create meaningful change in the systems of care that are meant to help, but sometimes cause harm. After many signs, including two loudly chirping bananaquit birds, Support Not Stigma was founded.

Together, we have fought. We have advocated. We have used our voices to educate, to uplift, and support those in greatest need. We have conversed about the possibilities for systemic changes in the systems of care we have worked in for the last 30 plus years.

Support Not Stigma is the belief that we can create change by supporting those with mental health and substance use disorders, rather than stigmatizing.

A little support goes a long way when you work from good intentions.
