Publisher’s Note: Our Mental Wellness

Publisher’s Note: Our Mental Wellness

By Barbara Nicholson Brown

 

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.

A huge thank you to our contributors for sharing your insights and expertise on mental health for this edition of Together AZ.

Mental Health America www.mhanational.org provides resources to help you prioritize your mental well-being or offer support to someone you care about.
