🌱 Mental health is not always taught, but it can be unlearned, reframed, and reclaimed.

🧠 The way we speak to ourselves shapes how we feel, think, and act each day. Try reframing your words with gentle, empowering alternatives ✨

Small shifts create big changes in mindset and mental health 🌱

08/07/2025

At U Matter Counselling, we value inclusivity and offer a space that honours all cultures and welcomes everyone’s uniqueness.

🧠 This month is a reminder that mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our cultural backgrounds, communities, and identities deeply shape how we understand, experience, and heal from mental health challenges.

🌍 For many in racial and ethnic minority groups, mental health care can feel inaccessible or unsafe due to cultural stigma, language barriers, lack of culturally competent services, and experiences of racism, marginalisation, and discrimination.

💛 Let’s advocate for mental health care that is culturally sensitive, accessible, and inclusive for all. Together, we can challenge stigma and create spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.

🫶 World Vitiligo Day 🫶

This year’s theme highlights how artificial intelligence is transforming care for people with vitiligo, from earlier diagnosis and personalized treatment plans to improving access and reducing disparities across different skin tones.

Vitiligo affects 1–2% of the global population, yet many living with it face stigma, anxiety, depression, and social exclusion. People often report low self-esteem, social anxiety, identity loss, and discrimination.

💬 This World Vitiligo Day, let’s raise awareness, challenge harmful beauty standards, and advocate for mental health support alongside medical care.

Because every skin deserves respect, every story deserves to be heard, and every person deserves to feel seen. Mental health matters for everyone.

🧠 Deafblind Awareness Week 💜

For many people living with deafblindness, everyday life can bring moments of deep isolation, quietly affecting emotional and mental well-being.

This week, we gently hold space for those whose sensory world is different, and whose mental health deserves care, support, and understanding.

Because connection matters. compassion matters. You matter.

🧠 May is Action on Stroke Month 🧠

Every 5 minutes, someone in the UK has a stroke. That's over 100,000 strokes a year, with more than 1.3 million survivors living with long-term effects, many of them psychological as well as physical.

Strokes don’t just affect the body; they can have a profound impact on mental health, often leading to anxiety, depression, PTSD, or emotional distress in both survivors and their families.

This month, let’s raise awareness of the emotional journey after stroke and the importance of mental health support in recovery.

Make May Purple to show your support 💜
