Commonsocietyissues CSI offers a platform for mental health stories. Giving voice to the survivors who overcame symptoms

At CommonSocietyIssues, we exist to break the stigma surrounding mental health and to create a society where seeking support is seen as a strength, not a weakness. Our mission is to educate, empower, and equip individuals and communities with the tools and knowledge they need to prioritise mental well-being. We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health, and yet millions su

ffer in silence due to fear, shame, or lack of access. That’s why we work across diverse communities, age groups, and industries to raise awareness and provide resources. Our aim is to build supportive environments where mental health is openly discussed and compassionately addressed. Our core belief is simple: mental health is everyone's
business—and we're here to lead that movement.

What if we could equip the next generation before they struggle?

We asked people a question that could change everything: "Should schools teach kids about therapy as part of health class?"

This isn't just about curriculum. It's about giving young people the language for their emotions and normalising help-seeking from an early age. It’s one of the most powerful ways we can truly break the cycle of mental health stigma.

The answers we got were insightful, passionate, and full of hope. This is a conversation we all need to be a part of.
