Re: Article in The Signal, July 2, “Round 3 in stigma troubles.”

Notable musicians, actors and health professionals in the Santa Clarita Valley have spent the last three weeks addressing the stigma around mental health at the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clarita Valley.

Notable to me is the ease with which people cede power to those who declare a stigma. It is a curious phenomenon. We did it with rape/stigma for generations. We are doing it again.
