Meet our Speaker

Jacob Moore, Founder of NoStigmas

After losing his father to suicide at age six, Jacob grew up plagued by debilitating anxiety and depression. He hid his mental illness for over 20 years, which cost him countless jobs, relationships, and nearly his life. With the help of family and peer supporters, he was finally able to take ownership of his mental health.
Understanding the positive role of peer support in his journey, Jacob created NoStigmas as a place where people could connect, share their story, and learn about mental health without feeling alone or ashamed. In 2011, it became recognized as a nonprofit charity. Learn more about Jacob or NoStigmas.
