NAMI - HOWARD COUNTY MD’s Post

From supporting survivors to advocating for change, each of us plays a vital role in ending child trafficking. God's children are not for sale. By raising awareness, providing resources, and promoting vigilance, we can create safer, more resilient communities where exploitation has no place. Along with other organizations fighting the same fight, Goya Cares is a global initiative dedicated to combatting child trafficking, raising mental health awareness, and providing support to survivors. Just as Goya Cares embodies the spirit of community and advocacy, together, we can turn the tide against these sick crimes and help people reclaim their freedom. #SeeSomethingSaySomething #ChildTrafficking #GoyaCares

World Suicide Prevention Day 2024 As the working day draws to a close on world suicide prevention day we wanted to reach out to anyone in the construction industry and beyond to say you are not alone. Remember to check in on that friend or colleague that you’ve not heard from in a while, #StartTheConversation and spread the hope that there is a way forward. Mental health is not something to be ashamed of, there should be no stigma attached to mental health, let’s start the conversation and prevent more lives being taken from suicide. Within the constitution industry alone two lives a day are thought to be taken from suicide! Much higher than in any other sector, let’s work together to bring that figure down. If you know some who is struggling please let them know they are not alone.

Breaking Down the Barriers: Stigma, discrimination, and the scarcity of accessible resources stand as towering barriers between individuals and the mental health support they desperately need. Imagine a world where asking for help is as normalized as seeking treatment for a physical ailment. Through our collective efforts in education and advocacy, we can dismantle these barriers piece by piece. Join us as we explore practical steps everyone can take to create a more inclusive and supportive society. #BreakingBarriers #MentalHealthEquality #WellactivAdvocacy
