We are here to help any person to:
1. Address their feelings and accept ownership of them.
2. Be honest about their situation with others.
3. Take control of their life including how they want to be treated.
Once these steps have been taken:
a. Help all, by learning about stigma and its causes.
b. Help educate others to get the full story about it.
c. Change your life, and maybe other people’s too.
