Stand Against Stigma Committee
MINUTES
The Stand Against Stigma Committee works to promote mental wellness, increase community awareness of
mental health, and end the stigma surrounding mental illness and substance use.
I. Attendance – Kortnie Cruz-Maletino, Rancheria Tribal Health; Marci Fernandez, Parent and NAMI
Representative; Cheryl Rushton, PSA2 Area Agency on Aging; Nancy Saeturn, Shasta Community
Health Center; Latasha Taylor, Kings View; Connie Webber, MHADAB; Christopher Diamond, HHSA
CES; Nicole Carroll, HHSA SSA; Samantha Girdwood, HHSA Recovery Coach; Tony Pisciotta, HHSA
Recovery Coach; Clarissa Wentworth, HHSA CES.
II. Presentation – “The Other Dual Diagnosis,” Connie Webber – Connie Webber, a member of the
Mental Health Drug and Alcohol Advisory Board and longtime advocate for people living with
developmental and intellectual disabilities, gave a short presentation to increase understanding of
this community. She explained how language had to change to address bullying of people living with
DD/ID. In the past, people who are a part of this community were identified with words like
“imbecile,” “idiot” and “retard.” These are all scientific terms, that turned into fodder for stigma. She
also urged the group to educate about their needs. She said it was important to talk to the individual
directly, not through a caretaker or other professional. Often the most difficult part is
communication, and sometimes a genuine need, medical or otherwise, is dismissed as, “just a
behavior.”
III. Community Partner Updates and Resource Sharing
IV. Stand Against Stigma Updates
a) Special Projects – Destig Symposium is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, November 1, 2022.
b) Brave Faces – 10-year anniversary in May 2022. The thought is to have Brave Faces speakers
who have been with the program for a longtime or people who have significant time in recovery
share their experiences – “What does 10-years of recovery look like?”
Location: GoToTraining
Date: Tuesday, December 14, 2021
Time: 1:30 – 3:00 p.m.
c) Becoming Brave Training – Waiting to hold in person training.
d) Hope Is Alive! Open Mic – Pick back up in May(?).
e) Minds Matter Podcast – Launch is delayed due to COVID workload.
f) Minds Matter Mental Health Fair – Possibly on pause for this year, accomplished in an outdoor
or online format.
g) Recovery Happens – First planning meeting is tentatively scheduled for 3-4 p.m. on January 13,
2022. Location TBD.
h) Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities – None for the time being.
V. Open Discussion

REVIEWING AND REASSESSING YOUR GOALS One last thing before you get busy setting your goals, plan to review and reassess your goals several times before you reach them, especially if they are loftier goals. You can set this up as weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly, but a quick review is helpful to keep you focused on your goal and to review your progress. It really depends on the benchmarks you set and how long you’ve given yourself to meet your goal. Regardless of how often you sit down to do this review, the most important thing is that you assess whether your goals— and the steps you’re taking—are still relevant and realistic.
