Mission
NHMH (No Health without Mental Health) is an emerging social marketing (where the public is “sold” on the need for a change in society) and communications venture whose mission is to redefine society’s understanding of “health,” to include mental health and physical health, completely, equally and seamlessly. Thereby, eliminating the social stigma that currently surrounds mental illness.
Mental health is relevant to everyone due to the widespread interactions between medical conditions and mental disorders over the course of a lifetime.
Each year almost 60 million adults in the U.S. suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder.
