While 1 in 5 people will experience a diagnosable mental health condition in their lives, 5 out of 5 people will go through a challenging time that affects their #mentalhealth. It can be difficult to talk to someone you care about who may be struggling. If talking face-to-face feels overwhelming, try reaching out via text or email. Find a time for a meaningful conversation without distractions and plan for at least 30 minutes to an hour. Practice active listening. A good active listener: 1. Puts everything aside and gives their complete attention to the person who is talking. 2. Asks open-ended questions to get more details (“And how did that make you feel?”). 3. Takes moments to summarize and ensure clear understanding during the conversation. Discover more from Mental Health America here: https://hubs.la/Q02x5dlm0

With May being Mental Health Awareness Month, it's important to remind everyone that if you're grappling with mental illness, you're not alone. Unfortunately, certain TV shows or movies about mental health can perpetuate a negative stigma or provide a distorted view of what mental health truly means. In reality, one in five children will experience some type of mental health issue, and it's crucial to challenge the stigma and misconceptions in order to ensure children receive the support they need. Together, we can dismantle the stigma surrounding mental illness and facilitate faster access to treatment! #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MentalHealth #HopeForTomorrow
