Stigma Free San Mateo County - Community Event

The stigma around mental illness and substance use can often discourage or prevent individuals from seeking treatment.  Stigma Free San Mateo County is an initiative by San Mateo County's Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) to eliminate stigma and end the discrimination against people with mental illness and substance use conditions in San Mateo County.

You are invited to attend this FREE community event on September 9, 2013 to learn more about stigma and mental health, Stigma Free San Mateo County, and how you can get involved.  Light refreshments will be provided.

For more information, contact the BHRS Office of Diversity and Equity at ode@smcgov.org, or (650) 573-3474
