Stand Together

Stand Together is an initiative that inspires and equips youth to take action against stigma associated with mental illness and substance use disorders. Allegheny County’s Office of Behavioral Health is engaging area middle and high schools throughout Allegheny County by providing anti-stigma training and service-learning experiences to reduce negative attitudes, beliefs, and social distance between youth with behavioral health challenges and their peers. Stand Together is supported by generous contributions from the Staunton Farm Foundation, Community Care Behavioral Health, and Allegheny HealthChoices, Inc.
