MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK 5:
As this mental health awareness week draws to a close, I wanted to give a big shout out to all those who care for loved ones with mental health challenges. There are so many just quietly supporting, holding, caring for those who struggle, walking with them in the dark places of mental distress and being a guide on the road to those spaces where light and hope can once again be found. I realise I am very fortunate to have had so much help and support these past six months. Texts, phonecalls, emails, surprise little gifts, from a whole army of people who have just wanted to see me smile again. Not least an amazing board of REVS Trustees, and even more so an incredible family - for whom this six months has been an up and down road of walking with me through it all. Once again I am blown away by their love. I am also aware that there are those who have no close support, who struggle alone and often in silence. This is why community is so important - spaces and people who will not judge, but where welcome, compassion, and inclusivity are core values. It is why we are passionate about creating community spaces through REVS, why I believe a love of cars is a gateway to a love of people - whoever they are, whatever they drive, whether they have a car collection, or just a poster on their bedroom wall. These are not communities with a pecking order, or spaces for the 'select few', or ones that can be accessed only with the 'right car'. They are places where anyone is welcome and where we believe you will find some friendship, some peace, and a group of people willing to walk the journey of life alongside you. We all need community, I believe it is hard wired into our DNA, it is part of what makes us human. This mental health awareness week, let us thank those who care for us, who support us, who welcome us to be a part of a community. And, if you are willing, let us pledge to be likewise for others. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthawarenessweek #community Image James Baldwin (Unsplash)
