Stop the Stigma ROC (STSROC) is an organization that seeks to promote suicide prevention and raise awareness about mental health, specifically in youth (ages 10-25).

As a youth-led organization, Stop the Stigma ROC hopes to promote suicide prevention and raise awareness about mental health through education and by providing a forum for open conversation and dialog. STSROC believes the best way to prevent suicide is to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness. Through conversation barriers are lessened between persons struggling with suicidal thoughts and needed professional help. STSROC hopes to connect those who need help with those who are able to provide help. The STSROC volunteers will not offer counseling services. In all cases for counseling, persons will be referred to trained mental health professionals
