Helping Today. Helping Tomorrow.
My name is Chris Martin, and I am the eldest of five children to Flo Hudson. My mother was a remarkable woman who faced many challenges, including the stigma surrounding mental health. Her struggle and the profound loss I experienced inspired me to take action. I created this initiative in honor of her legacy, with the goal of fostering a world where mental health is treated with the same openness and importance as physical health.

Austin, TXI’ve seen firsthand how stigma prevents people from seeking the help they need. Volunteering with Stop the Stigma has been an incredibly rewarding experience, allowing me to contribute to a cause that truly saves lives. Together, we can break the silence!
