Let's talk about it:
As the ACRC continues to push towards establishing legislations to protect Co-Response Clinicians and the Co-Response Profession, we do not want to get away from what we love- Mental Wellness. The ACRC invites you to the mental wellness space, "Let's Talk About It," where we will provide psychoeducation, empowerment and fun facts!
The Let's talk about it series is intended to be honest and direct information about all topics, including the uncomfortable ones. While many people can acknowledge that stigma is present when discussing various topics, i.e., mental illness, suicide, substance use etc., we cannot get past stigma without talking about the "uncomfortable" topics. We cannot de-stigmatize these topics if we do not talk about them. So, Let's talk about it!
