The #seasonal celebration that feature psychos, mental patients, and insane asylums perpetuate #stereotypes that #mental illness is scary, frightening, and horrific.
On this day, it is intended to be fun; for both children and adults. However, these stereotypes serve to perpetuate #stigma.
Children and Adults living with mental #illness may take offense to some costumes and main attractions. Witnessing any of these may hurt— but don't feel as if you have to reach and #teach everyone you meet.
REMEMBER: It's okay to let others fight against mental health discrimination. 🧡
