MAY is #MentalHealthMonth Talking about your mental health, is not attention seeking. Everyday people have trouble functioning or worse choose to end their lives. And we say...Why didn't they speak up? A stigma still exists in our society that being vulnerable, especially for men, is a weakness. Let's change that! Support someone... 1. LISTEN: Let them share as much or as little as they want, and don't try to diagnose or second guess their feelings. 2. ASK: What can I do right now to support you? 3. CONFIRM: I am here for you. *And Please pay attention to what you say to yourself inside your head! #bekindtoyourselfandothers

This month holds a deep and personal significance for me, as I've lost two of my closest friends to suicide. Their absence is a reminder of how crucial it is to break the silence and take action in supporting mental health. It’s okay not to be okay. And it’s more than okay to reach out, offer help, or simply listen. Small gestures can make a world of difference. Let’s work together to reduce the stigma around mental health, raise awareness, and make it known that no one has to struggle alone. If you or someone you know is going through a difficult time, please reach out—for help, for support, or just to talk. Let’s stand united in this fight. #SuicidePreventionMonth #MentalHealthMatters #YouAreNotAlone

Let's break the silence on depression! It's crucial to understand that mental health matters, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Depression can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. By opening up and talking about our struggles, we not only lighten our own burden but also encourage others to do the same. Whether it's a friend, family member, or therapist, reaching out for support can make all the difference. Together, let's erase the stigma and build a community of understanding and compassion. Remember, you're never alone, and there's always hope on the other side of darkness. #breakthestigma #mentalhealthmatters #youarenotalone #depressionawareness

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, a reminder that taking care of our minds is just as important as everything else. Mental health isn’t something to push aside or be ashamed of - it’s something we need to prioritize, both for ourselves and for those around us. At Kake, we believe that mental health isn’t a journey anyone should walk alone. Often, those who seem the strongest are the ones facing the toughest battles. That’s why having a supportive community matters so much - and why we so strongly believe that #CompassionIsBadass. 🎂 Today, we encourage you to pause, reflect, and maybe take a moment to reach out. A little kindness can mean everything to someone who’s struggling. And if it’s you who needs some kindness, remember: you’ve made it through 100% of your toughest days so far. You’ve got this - and the people around you care more than you know. 💜 #MentalHealthMatters

When it comes to looking after our Mental Health, being vulnerable and open with the ones we trust and love is always a constructive way to better understand and receive validation for how we might be feeling overall.

Words have the power to heal, uplift, and spark change, especially when those words are directed toward someone in need. Kindness is good for our own mental health and can have a significant impact. But here's the thing: compliments aren't just feel-good fluff. They can boost mental well-being, improve self-esteem, and fuel the strength to keep fighting. By spreading meaningful positivity, we can build a brighter, more supportive community for everyone – especially those facing tough times. So, go forth and compliment! ️ Share this post, tag your friends, and leave a kind message for someone on your timeline. You never know who might need a little extra sunshine today. Remember, kindness is contagious, and a single compliment can spark a ripple effect of positivity. #AleraHealth #ComplimentDay #MentalHealth #SubstanceAbuse #KindnessMatters
