About StigmaZero
Founded by Jason Finucan, StigmaZero offers a unique set of solutions to employers looking to improve their response to workplace mental illness.
Vision & Mission
Our vision is to work towards a future without stigma, and our mission is to help employers eliminate stigma in the workplace.
Our Approach
We believe that, in order to change how mental illness is viewed and understood, we must approach this complex topic in an accessible manner. This includes making mental illness relatable through personal stories and backing up our facts and statistics with rigorous research.
We know that people learn in different ways, and so our innovative Create Your StigmaZero Workplace online training program was built using the best practices in online learning to ensure the highest possible levels of engagement. We believe that learning can – and should be – an interesting and enjoyable experience!
Jason Finucan
Mental health advocate, stigma fighter, professional speaker and founder of StigmaZero, Jason is also the instructor of the Create Your StigmaZero Workplace online training program.
As someone who has experienced both a major physical illness (heart defect leading to open heart surgery in 1988) and a major mental illness (bipolar disorder leading to hospitalization in 2005), Jason shares his personal experiences with impactful storytelling techniques. These moving stories can be found as part of our academy programs, through his inspirational keynotes as the Mental Health Caddy and in his book Jason: 1, Stigma: 0 – My battle with mental illness at home and in the workplace.
Jason aims to make this difficult topic accessible and consumable, so he blends his stories with rigorous research in order to mobilize knowledge and perspective. His goal is for everyone to understand this important topic so they are empowered to make a real change and ultimately join in the effort to realize his vision for a future without stigma.
This is a mental health movement – and Jason wants you to be a part of it.
