Stand By Me NCStand By Me NC is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization that believes in the capacity of our collective voice and our individual stories. We create change and combat social stigma, public apathy and government inaction through sharing the stories of our personal pain and our dreams for what we know life can be for those who live with these illnesses.
Stand By Me NC arose from the frustration shared by over one million North Carolinians whose lives are affected by a mental illness and who find it difficult at best to obtain basic medical care. |
