MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS.
While our education system is temporarily being replaced online, many have felt overwhelmed and stressed at home. Mental health has long been a taboo in our society so by sharing this post, we hope we can help you feel at ease with these links we’ve included <3
We’ve compiled a few songs that we think may brighten up your mood
Stigma against mental illness is still powerful, largely due to media stereotypes and lack of education, and that people tend to attach negative stigmas to mental health conditions at a far higher rate than to other diseases and disabilities.
Stigma and misinformation can feel like overwhelming obstacles for someone who is struggling with a mental health condition. Here are a few powerful things you can do to help:
- Showing individuals respect and acceptance removes a significant barrier to successfully coping with their illness. Having people see you as an individual and not as your illness can make the biggest difference for someone who is struggling with their mental health.
- Advocating within our circles of influence helps ensure these individuals have the same rights and opportunities as other members of your church, school and community.
- Learning more about mental health allows us to provide helpful support to those affected in our families and communities.
