Introduction:
“People fear what they don’t understand.” When it comes to Mental Health Care, this statement is especially true. Individuals suffering from mental health disorders shy away from seeking treatment, many times for the sake of labeling alone. This workshop has been created to shed some light on issues facing society in unimaginable ways.”
