AFGE Launches New Program to Fight Mental Health Stigma

Mental health is part of our overall well-being, and so seeking help with mental health should be like seeing your doctor for a stomachache, a broken leg, or other physical illnesses. Yet people who seek help dealing with their anxiety or stress often feel like they are being judged, that there is “something wrong” with them. Worse, they fear their employers would find out and think they can’t do their jobs.
