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.
š£I matter!
š£You matter!
š£He matters!
š£She matters!
š£They matter!
š£Friends matter!
š£Enemies matter!
š£If there is life in it, it matters!
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, āNearly 450 million people worldwide are currently living with a mental illness, yet nearly two thirds of people with a known mental illness never seek treatmentā (ADAA, 2020).
š£They are not obvious.
š£They are not crazy.
š£They are not attention seeking.
š£They are not exaggerating.
š£They are not pretending.
š£They are not selfish.
š£š£THEY ARE TRYING! š£š£
