The need to have open conversations about our mental health has never been greater. And while May is designated as Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s support each other throughout the year.
Healing begins when we talk openly about our experiences with anxiety, depression, trauma — even anger, and it chips away at breaking down the shame and stigma surrounding mental health issues. Our mental wellness shapes everything from our thoughts and emotions to our ability to cope with stress and form connections. Together, we have the power to create a world where mental health is truly valued and not cloaked in darkness.
