Yes, my personal experience is that the stigma around mental health prevents a lot of youth from accessing the support. In my own community we had a young woman who lost her life to suicide and there was no call for help from that particular young girl. A lot of students would walk by my office and not come in, and I think it is the stigma around it.
What specific things can we do to help alleviate or get rid of this stigma? Some of the suggestions you're making are wonderful in terms of parents and the Internet. Do you have any other specific suggestions?
