#RealConvo offers graphics, photos and personal stories to help inspire, fight stigma and reframe how people think about the issue.
By Erin Blakemore May 25 at 8:00 AM When it comes to mental health, it can be hard to be real. Stigma surrounds mood disorders, therapy and drugs. Talking to someone else about a challenge can be exhausting and scary. And all too often, people keep their struggles with depression, bipolar disorder, suicidal feelings and other issues to themselves.
An initiative of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and Instagram aims to change that with a public awareness campaign using social media to spark genuine conversations about mental health. Browsing the hashtag reveals graphics, photos and personal stories aimed to inspire, reduce stigma, reframe how people think of mental health, and help people get help if they need it. Candid personal stories give difficult issues — such as anxiety, self-criticism, grief and post-traumatic stress disorder — faces and names.
