In this panel, we will discuss mental health, personal issues, and how fandom is often used as an outlet or safe haven. We will share personal stories and discuss how social stigma and fear of mental health topics often lead to fandom being the only outlet people, especially young people, feel they can safely explore, and why that needs to change.
