Each Mind MattersEach Mind Matters is California’s Mental Health Movement. We all have mental health. As with our physical health, sometimes we are doing well, other times we could use some help. Our minds deserve the same attention as our bodies. Early support and help for mental health challenges can reduce suffering and save lives. But not everyone who wants and needs help reaches out to get it. One of the greatest barriers to wellness is stigma. Each Mind Matters focuses on the elimination of stigma recognizing that this is essential to prevention, early intervention and support for those experiencing mental health challenges. Join the movement because Each Mind Matters. This Movement is also going on in our Hispanic communities called SanaMente.
