Too often do we throw people away for reason beyond their control, because they don’t fit a mold, or judgment. Too often do those same people we threw away are left feeling alone and unloved. Too often do we place labels on people. Too often those labels become prisons for fear of being thrown away by our loved ones. Too often do those imprisoned by labels harm themselves or others. Too often do those who need help suffer in silence due to fear of judgment. Too often does their silence end in their passing.

Stigma, Labels, and Judgment cause great pain and suffering in our world. The “Not Trash” panel series from the PROJECTs division of YBSPROS aims to change this…one discussion at a time.
