What Is 'Kicking The Stigma'?

One in five U.S. adults – including one in four Hoosiers – suffer from some form of mental health disorder.

These are our friends and neighbors who struggle every day with depression, anxiety, addiction and other illnesses that take away the quality of life for them and their loved ones.

The Indianapolis Colts and the Irsay Family stand together today and moving forward to "Kick the Stigma" around mental health and encourage anyone battling these illnesses to seek the help they need.
