Shattering Stigmas is a blogging event that started three years ago with Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight hosting. Since its start in 2015, bloggers, authors, writers, readers, and people of all different backgrounds have come together to hold an annual blogging event that further opens the conversation about mental illness so that we can remove the stigma from it. This year, Tay @ Stay On The Page, Madalyn @ Novel Ink, Kitty @ Jelly Fable, Marie @ Drizzle and Hurricane Books, and myself, Ben @ Ace Of Bens are co-hosting this event to bring you even more perspectives and conversations from October 6th to October 20th. Check back frequently as this page will be updated with links to each other posts associated with Shattering Stigmas 4.0!
