Yellow Tulip Project
Smash the Stigma of Mental Illness
Season 2: Episode 5
Join us to learn more about the Yellow Tulip Project and its mission to Smash the Stigma of Mental Illness. Today's panel will consist exclusively of youth leaders from YTP who will be sharing their stories and self-care tips. The goal of this show is to remind everyone that there is help and hope for those living with mental illness.
About the Yellow Tulip Project
We are a determined youth-driven movement tired of the silence surrounding mental illness — and we’re ready to move mountains to bring change and to remind folks that there is help and hope out there. We are tired of the deafening silence around this topic. We are tired of the stigma that keeps people from reaching out and getting the help they need. We are tired of suffering in silence and we are tired of losing our friends to suicide. We are ready to address the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about, even though one in five people worldwide suffers from mental illness.
Our mission is to smash the stigma surrounding mental illness and to build a community of people who realize that hope happens when youth and community leaders work together. We hope that someday mental illness will be as normal to talk about as any physical illness, and are fiercely dedicated to making this goal a reality.
