This October 10th, is World Mental Health Day 🤕 🥴 💓
Did you know that 1 in 8 people around the world live with a mental health condition? Whether it's depression, anxiety, or other mental health challenges, these issues affect millions of people in ways that are often invisible. On World Mental Health Day, we are reminded of the importance of supporting those around us—because mental health is everyone’s concern.
Here are a few simple ways we can make a difference to you and those around you:
🩵 Listen without judgment: Sometimes just being there can be the biggest help.
🩵 Check in: Reach out to friends, family, or colleagues who might need support.
🩵 Learn more: Educate yourself on mental health conditions to better understand and support others.
🩵 Encourage professional help: Remind people that it’s okay to seek support from a therapist or counsellor.
🩵 Promote well-being: Advocate for environments that encourage self-care, work-life balance, and emotional wellness.
🩵 Breaking the stigma: Open conversations about mental health help normalise seeking support.
🩵 Support systems: It’s a day to check in on your loved ones, friends, and colleagues.
🩵 Education: Spread awareness and knowledge, as understanding mental health is the first step to providing meaningful help.
🩵 Self-care: Take time for yourself. Mental health is not just about getting through hard times; it’s about thriving and feeling well every day.
Let's use this day to remind ourselves and each other that mental health care is a right, not a privilege.
Mental health matters every day. Let’s break the stigma, uplift those around us, and work towards a world where everyone can thrive.
