Uncover Ostomy: A Site Fighting the Stigma of Ostomates

This topic is about a wonderful initiative called Uncover Ostomy, which is both a website and a Facebook campaign. It was started by a young woman who has an ostomy herself, and her mission is to break down the stigma that often surrounds people with ostomies. By sharing her story and creating a supportive community, she aims to raise awareness and foster understanding.

Here are some key points about the initiative:

1. Uncover Ostomy is a website dedicated to changing perceptions about ostomies. It provides information and personal stories to help educate the public.

2. The campaign also has a Facebook page, which serves as a platform for outreach and community engagement. It’s a place where people can connect, share experiences, and support one another.

3. The topic originator shared an additional link related to the campaign: http://www.innovationbyyou.com/dashboard. This might offer further insights or resources related to the initiative.

While there were no specific pieces of advice or insights shared in the discussion, the existence of such a campaign is a positive step towards reducing stigma and promoting understanding.
