One of the most impactful ways Walt's Waltz (a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to reducing suffering, destigmatizing mental health, and preventing suicides, especially among men) casts a lasting footprint is through enlisting companies and organizations to become Stigma-Free Zones where mental health no longer carries a stigma or mist be hidden away in pain or shame. Empowering the establishment of safe spaces for open communication in the workplace, educational institutions, military, social settings; truly everywhere raising the profile of mental health to the same level as that of physical health, the Stigma-Free Environment is one crucial avenue through which formal institutions in society may begin to shoulder responsibility for the human beings who staff them. Recently, the city of Greenville, SC (USA) has become the very first municipality to sign on as a Walt's Waltz Stigma-Free Zone! 😊 🙏 Our annual Raffle Rouser, running from May 1-14th this year, is much more than a fundraiser; it represents the 80% of funding that comes from private individuals.
