May is Mental Health Awareness Month!!

In honor of May being mental health awareness month. Please take a moment to read, share, offer help or seek help. I believe every person in the world is or has been impacted by mental health in some form, at some time.

🗣I matter!

🗣You matter!

🗣He matters!

🗣She matters!

🗣They matter!

🗣Friends matter!

🗣Enemies matter!

🗣If there is life in it, it matters!

According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, “Nearly 450 million people worldwide are currently living with a mental illness, yet nearly two thirds of people with a known mental illness never seek treatment” (ADAA, 2020).

🗣They are not obvious.

🗣They are not crazy.

🗣They are not attention seeking.

🗣They are not exaggerating.

🗣They are not pretending.

🗣They are not selfish.

🗣🗣THEY ARE TRYING! 🗣🗣
