They Are Our Neighbors ….

By Gran13

People with mental health problems are our neighbors, our co-workers, a person working in a supermarket, members of our congregation or relatives. They are everywhere, all over the world. If we ignore their cries for help, we will continue to participate in the anguish from which those cries for help come. A problem of this magnitude will not go away. And, precisely because it will not disappear, we are compelled to take action.

It is time that we welcomed them into our communities, offered our hand in friendship, and most important of all, we need to banish the stigma associated with people who have a mental illness.
