POPULATION

A resource for Rotarians to use to help break down the stigma surrounding mental health.

FOCUS

A visual means to encourage those affected both directly and indirectly by mental health issues to seek help and to not bottle things up.

OVERVIEW

Using a model similar to the Rotary “This Close” to Ending Polio campaign, this is primarily a social media campaign featuring Rotarians and public figures stating the same message – “Don’t Bottle It Up – I’m not afraid to speak up and neither should you”. Rotarians can take part as individuals; clubs/districts can also adapt a version as a local awareness campaign.
