Stop the Stigma ROC (STS) is an organization that seeks to promote suicide prevention and raise awareness about mental health, specifically in youth (ages 10-25). As a youth-led organization we hope to do this through education and by providing a forum for open conversation and dialog. We feel the best way to prevent suicide is to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness. Through conversation barriers are lessened between persons struggling with suicidal thoughts and needed professional help. We hope to connect those who need help with those who are able to provide help. The STS organization volunteers will not offer counseling services. In all cases for counseling we will refer any and all individuals to trained mental health professionals.

One of the main reasons survivors remain with abusive partners is financial. There is a real fear of not being able to financially provide for themselves and th...eir children if they leave. Join us next Monday, January 25th at 12pm, to learn more about financial abuse and what to do about it.

"I'd like you to open up your hands and open up your heart to those who are still suffering because of COVID-19. People who are suffering through no fault of their own... We're trying to build a gentler, kinder society and if we all pitch in, just a little bit, we're gonna get there." -Alex Trebek
