Mental Health Matters: Advocating for Awareness and Support

Hello Hivers! How’s your day? Hope you have a nice day today!

So today I wanted to talk about my journey as a psychology student and events I participated in advocating mental health awareness. Mental health matters, and I’m proud to be involved with my psychology department in such important work to spread awareness, provide support for people and build safe spaces where they can share how they’re doing.

As a psych student background shows me the strength of tiny gestures of empathy which may range from providing counsel to admitting someone who requires venting or distributing little goodies such as lollipops to highlight their value and being loved. Humans have the blessing of dependable support from those closest to them including family members and friends whenever they need someone to rely on.

I joined a mental well-being event that taught different strategies for managing stress together with anxiety and daily challenges. My decision to enter this field reinstated itself to me as I witnessed people openly discuss their life experiences at the event.

Events such as these serve a critical purpose since mental health stands equally vital to physical health but receives less attention. By providing these events people can exchange difficulty experiences and discover coping approaches in supportive communal settings. Getting help along with taking rest and prioritizing well-being is completely acceptable.

The fact that you face challenges right now demonstrates you are one of many who need support. Several individuals exist in your life who display genuine concern about your welfare and seek methods to assist you. Mental health stigma needs to be destroyed through continued promotion of open discussion about the subject.
