Mental Health Awareness Month – Changing Minds About Mental Health
Small gestures can make a big difference. Here’s how you can support mental health awareness:
- Remind them you care – Even the little things matter. A simple message or call shows you’re there.
- Stay connected – Meet up, make a call, or send a text or email to show you’re thinking of them.
- Talk, but listen – Sometimes, just being present and listening can make all the difference.
- Casual conversations matter – Talk about everyday topics to lighten the mood and offer support.
- Be patient – Understand that ups and downs happen. Give space for emotions to unfold.
