Importance of intersectionality
Every individual has a unique set of intersecting identities that make their life experience entirely unique. When talking about mental health, stigma, oppression and hate, we must talk about intersectionality. As allies we must seek to understand the individuality of those who we intend to help.
There is an abundance of misinformation regarding mental illness available for consumption across the internet that can spread quickly and be taken out of context. It is important to always rely on facts -not opinions- to determine if a piece of information is reliable or not. We whole heartedly believe this here at Let’s Talk: End the Silence, that is why we only provide scientifically-backed information.
