May is mental health awareness month, and if any cause deserved it’s own month, this is it. Given the facts; that 1 in 5 Americans are affected by mental illness in a given year and that only 41% of adults in the U.S. with mental health condition received mental health services in the past year, NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) launched the stigmafree campaign, a national effort focused on shattering the stereotypes associated with mental illness.

Beauty company Philosophy joined forces with NAMI, creating the hope & grace initiative, and this week sponsored at lunch a hot-spot Esterel restaurant .Celebs such as Chicago Med’s Torrey DeVitto, and Rachel McCord hosted the event.
