May is Mental Health Awareness month. The years 2020, and now 2021, have brought unique circumstances into our lives. This has caused major disruption in the way we live, work, and socialize. It comes with no surprise that mental health is declining around our communities. For some people, it is the first time they have experienced anything like it. Where do you turn and how do you get help?
Mental illness can be scary; but you are not alone, truly. One in four adults will experience some form of mental illness in their lifetime. With such a large part of the population facing these struggles, we should not be afraid to talk about it. Never be afraid to talk about your mental health, because you might be the light that gives someone else their own voice to talk about it. Open discussions eliminate stigmas and stereotypes. You wouldn’t hide or brush off a broken bone or other serious physical ailment, so your mental health should be just as much of a priority.
If you want to be an advocate, Community of Hearts has a great advocacy training course online that takes about 1 hour and it is a great way to get started! Click here: Community of Hearts – Home
“A mental health advocate is anyone who is a voice for those suffering from depression, anxiety, or any other disorder – who hopes to disseminate a message of hope and support.” -Theresa Barchard
