Stigma-Free

The Bergen County STIGMA-FREE Campaign is a county-wide program which aims to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness. The program is dedicated to raising awareness of the disease of mental illness and to creating a culture wherein residents who have the disease feel supported by their community and neighbors and feel free to seek treatment for the disease without fear of stigma.

For more information, please visit the County’s website.
