Sharing my poem with my peers in the MSc Global Mental Health and Society program at The University of Edinburgh wasn’t easy. At first, I was nervous about exposing such a personal part of my mental health journey. But then I realized: staying silent would only perpetuate the stigma—the false belief that there’s shame in experiencing real human emotions and challenges. As a mental health advocate, it’s crucial to practice what I preach. I had to ask myself: 🔹 How would I treat someone else who has faced similar experiences? 🔹 Would I judge them for circumstances beyond their control? 🔹 Do I allow a diagnosis to dictate how I view and treat others? If the answer is no, then why should it define you? Let’s continue to challenge the stigma by starting with how we view our own journeys. #MentalHealthAwareness #SmashTheStigma #TheYellowTulipProject
We’re honored to share this poignant and heartfelt poem, "23" by Marissa Salvaterra, with our Yellow Tulip Project community. 🎂 Marissa reflects on the journey from childhood dreams to adult realities, touching on the often-unspoken struggles and the profound realization of self-worth. This piece beautifully captures the essence of growth, hope, and the importance of being heard—even when it feels like no one is asking. Check out our blog, EXPRESS, to read the full poem and let its message resonate with you.

Love, Humanity and Compassion 🌟 Love What You Teach but Love Who You Teach More 🌟 At the heart of everything we do lies a strong belief in the power of compassion. Love for what we teach is important but love for whom we teach is what truly matters. Compassion isn't just a word to us—it's a guiding principle, a beacon of empathy that lights our path. It's about understanding, feeling, and celebrating each other's journeys, whether they be of pain or triumph. In our Element of Play® early learning play spaces, compassion isn't just a concept; it's a way of life. We don't offer pity; instead, we extend solidarity, support, and genuine connection to children and parents alike. Together, we forge bonds that build resilient communities where mutual care and cooperation thrive. Our work in the village of Petrevene serves as a testament to the transformative power of compassion. Here, amidst the humble abodes of young Roma families, we've witnessed firsthand the struggles and dreams of those often overlooked by society. Through years of dedication, our Element of Play® program has not only fostered understanding but has also birthed initiatives that spread joy and hope. One such initiative is the 'educational' shopping center, a beacon of light in a world often dimmed by hardship. With the invaluable support of partners like the "Znanie" Association and local leaders, we've created a space where children can learn through play, receiving essentials like food, clothes, and books in a setting that ignites their imagination. And as parents join their children in this playful pursuit, their smiles of gratitude speak volumes about the strength of community and the power of compassion. In Petrevene, compassion isn't just a virtue—it's a way of life. It's in the shared moments of support, the acts of kindness exchanged, and the unwavering commitment to uplift one another. Together, we're building a world where love and humanity reign —a world where compassion knows no bounds. ❤️ #Compassion #ElementOfPlay #CommunityLove

KWANZAA: KARAMU - FINAL DAY OF CELEBRATION Kwanzaa is an African-American Culture holiday that follows Christmas. Probably many of you have seen posts in your media stream about it during these last few days. Let's clarify a few points about this holiday. #1-Is it a REAL holiday? Yes, Kwanzaa is a real holiday and celebration. It was created by activist Maulanga Karenga and was first celebrated in 1996. As all holidays and celebrations we have are created and thus are "real", so also is Kwanzaa. #2-Does this replace Christmas for Black People? Some Black People celebrate both Christmas and Kwanzaa. Some Black People celebrate only one of these two. Not all Black People are exactly the same in beliefs, traditions held, and preference for celebration during Winter. As today, 1 January 2024, is the final day of Kwanzaa and traditionally a gathered feast is held on this day to end the celebration - called Karamu - we offer this beautiful celebration held at the Library of Conference by Opalanga Pugh, an African-American storyteller located in Denver, Colorado, one of our "Sister States" because much of Utah's Black history is tied to that state. Enjoy her beautiful poem about Kwanzaa and this celebration we located recorded and stored at the Library of Congress' American Folklife Center. Kwanzaa, a step to unity Kwanzaa, a step to being free. Help us to see That we are in control of our destiny. Kwanzaa is based on tradition and reason. It's a value system For any season Giving thanks for the fruits That come from above Reaffirming our families With kinship and love Kwanzaa Kwanzaa Kwanzaa --Opalanga Pugh at the Library of Congress, 2008 https://lnkd.in/e5Yp8eHM
