Kari Williams, Roger Neptune, and Stacie Weaver represented DBSA WV at the End The Stigma Event in Buckhannon’s Jawbone Park on May 2, 2026. The event brought awareness to many often-stigmatized issues such as mental health, substance use disorder, domestic violence, suicide, grief & loss, and other health topics.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time dedicated to breaking the stigma that prevents so many from seeking the care they need. While mental health affects everyone, it presents a unique challenge for men, who often feel pressured by societal expectations to remain stoic and “tough it out.”
