🧠 Did You Know? Contrary to common misconceptions, individuals with mental health issues are predominantly nonviolent. Research indicates that only 3-5% of violent acts can be attributed to people with a serious mental illness. This statistic underscores the importance of dispelling stereotypes and promoting understanding around mental health. By fostering empathy and education, we can create a more supportive environment for all. 🌱💙 #MentalHealthAwareness #Nonviolent #EndStigma #SupportEachOther #MentalHealth

It's crucial to change our approach to #mentalhealthtreatment. Stigmas and misconceptions still surround mental health disorders, preventing many from seeking help. We need to create a supportive and understanding environment, one that encourages people to open up and seek the help they need. By #changingminds and promoting empathy, we can make a significant impact on the lives of those struggling with mental health issues. My #cybin team and I are working to create a more accepting and understanding society. I always have a listening ear for you if you need it. How can I help?
