What is Beyond the Label?
Beyond the Label aims to reduce the stigma around Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for teenagers by increasing awareness and encouraging open conversations. Through an awareness campaign, we will challenge the use of dismissive and diminishing vocabulary and advocate recognition for this ‘invisible disability’. This will result in a more empathetic and supportive environment, as stigma will be reduced, allowing people to openly speak about their feelings without fear of judgment or discrimination.
