Why Listening Matters

One in five of our friends, family members, colleagues, neighbors and classmates will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime. In a time when more people are experiencing anxiety, depression, and vicarious trauma more than ever before, it’s vital that we take action. The first step? Start by listening.

Listening is one of the most powerful ways to support someone facing mental health challenges. I Will Listen encourages open and honest conversations about mental health–teaching college campuses, workplaces, and other communities how to start conversations, recognize barriers and eradicate stigma.
