We were happy to see incredible athletic performance and awareness of mental health struggles showcased at this year’s Winter Olympics. A number of the top American athletes -- Alysa Liu, Mikaela Shiffrin, and Ilia Malinin — opened up about their personal challenges and the pressure to succeed in the spotlight. Each had a unique story to share. Skater Liu about retiring at age 16, feeling burned out, and then coming back, but under her own terms. Skier Shiffrin dealing with her dad’s sudden death and disappointing previous Olympic results in which she failed to win. Skater Malinin falling during his program and placing out of medal contention. He later told one reporter, he wanted the public to see him as “a human being. We also have real thoughts, real feelings, even though it looks like we’re completely like robots and [have] superhuman abilities. But in the end, deep inside, we’re still similar [to] all of you.” 💚

Proud to be Stigma-Free

Between 2017 and 2018, the Mendham Borough Council and the Mendham Township Committee each passed resolutions declaring their communities Stigma-Free. This made a total 34 of Morris County’s 39 towns, along with hospitals, schools, nonprofit agencies and law enforcement groups that have joined the countywide “Stigma Free’’ initiative.

The goal of Mendhams Stigma-Free Task Force is to foster a judgment-free environment around mental health issues and substance abuse and also to create inclusion for people with special needs, disabilities and any other “difference” that can make them feel marginalized, sidelined and not accepted.

What is Stigma-Free? Stigma is a mark of disgrace that results from the judgment of others. When someone is labeled by their illness they experience judgment and prejudice. Stigma brings experiences and feelings of shame, embarrassment, distress, hopelessness and reluctance to seek or accept help.

Studies show that one in four adults will experience a diagnosable mental disorder in any given year. Yet, more than half will not seek treatment. Why? Despite its prevalence in our society, mental health still has stigma attached to it. The same applies to substance abuse.
