The agony of a lifetime battling his own mental health challenges led Mike to the realization that one of the most difficult obstacles in overcoming a mental health challenge is The Stigma Cycle. The Stigma Cycle starts with shame; shame leads to silence; silence leads to sabotage, self-destructive behavior, social injustice, and suicide.

It is experienced by people living with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, substance abuse, and many other disorders. Mike’s personal experience with the debilitating and vicious Stigma Cycle helped him learn how to transform stigma in his own life. Nowadays, Mike has made his life about helping others transform stigma through his work as a well-respected speaker and writer.
