what is PSY-lence?

PSY-lence is a term coined by the S.P.E.A.K campaign. It refers to the silence, fear and stigma that surrounds the topic of mental illness. It is rarely the topic of choice at the dinner table and people with mental illness strive to pass as "normal". This silence is the symptom of a greater disease in our society. One that forces us all to prefer silence over the judgement accompanied with honesty.
