"Just because someone seems 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 '𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥' 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 doesn't mean they're not fighting silent battles inside. Mental disabilities aren't always visible. Be kind, always and check on them." 💚

𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬? 𝐓𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟑-𝟑-𝟑 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞.

When your mind starts racing, ground yourself with this simple technique:

○ Look around and name 3 things you see.
○ Listen and name 3 things you hear.
○ Move 3 parts of your body (wiggle your fingers, roll your shoulders, stretch your toes).

This quick mindfulness trick can help bring you back to the present moment when anxiety strikes.

Breathe. You’ve got this.

𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞; 𝐦𝐞𝐧 are often taught to “be strong” and “tough it out,” but strength also means knowing when to speak up and seek help. Mental health affects everyone—regardless of gender. 💙💚

𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰:

𝐌𝐞𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩- Over 60% of men report that societal expectations and stigma prevent them from talking about their mental health or seeking support.

𝐒𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐧- In most countries, men are 3 to 4 times more likely to die by su***de than women. This is often linked to untreated mental health conditions and lack of support.

𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐀𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐞- Men may show signs of depression through anger, irritability, risk-taking, or substance use rather than sadness.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐀𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐞𝐧:
Depression
Anxiety
PTSD (especially in veterans)
Substance Use Disorders

Let’s end the stigma.

“You don’t need a reason to feel how you feel. Your emotions are enough.”

We listen and we don’t.... 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚.

When someone opens up, they’re not always asking for advice.
Sometimes, they just need someone who won’t walk away.

It’s not about having the perfect words.
It’s about showing up with presence, empathy,
and the willingness to hold space for someone’s struggle. 🤍

The Genderbread Person is a simple yet powerful visual tool that helps break down the complexities of identity. It shows that gender isn't binary—it's a spectrum across four key aspects:

🧠 Gender Identity – How you think of yourself (e.g., man, woman, nonbinary)

🍑 Biological S*x – The physical traits you’re born with (e.g., ge****ls, chromosomes)

💘 Attraction – Who you're romantically and/or sexually drawn to.

👕 Gender Expression – How you show your gender through behavior, clothing, and more.

By separating these concepts, we can better understand ourselves and support others in their journey!

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐧𝐬! 𝐊𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬𝐚 𝐤𝐚 𝐡𝐮𝐰𝐚𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐨𝐭, 𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐠𝐚𝐩 𝐤𝐢𝐭𝐚. 🌈 🤗💚

Pride Month is a powerful celebration of 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, and it's deeply connected to 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 in meaningful ways.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡:

1. Affirmation Reduces Anxiety & Depression
-Being accepted for who you are is a protective factor against mental health issues. Pride Month reminds LGBTQ+ people that they are seen, valued, and not alone.
2. Visibility = Healing
Many LGBTQ+ folks grow up feeling invisible or invalidated. Pride offers a space for self-expression and community validation, which can be profoundly healing.
3. Community Support Improves Well-being
Isolation is a major contributor to mental health struggles. Pride events, groups, and visibility create connection, which is vital for emotional resilience.
4. Historical & Ongoing Trauma
LGBTQ+ communities face disproportionate rates of discrimination, harassment, and violence. Pride Month honors the fight for rights while also acknowledging the mental health toll of systemic oppression.
5. Encouraging Mental Health Conversations
Pride encourages open discussions about therapy, self-care, and emotional well-being in q***r spaces where stigma may have previously silenced them.

Every person deserves to live with dignity, love, and peace of mind — and Pride Month helps make that visible.

You are worthy. You belong. You matter. 💚🏳️‍🌈

🎓 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝… 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭?
Just graduated and feeling lost about what to do next? University? A job? A skill? You're not alone — and it's totally okay to feel this way.

Here’s how to start figuring things out:
𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟
o What subjects did you enjoy in SHS?
o What are your hobbies or strengths?
o Are you a hands-on person or more academic?

𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
o University or College – Great for careers like Law, Medicine, Engineering, Teaching.
o TVET or Skills Training – If you’re into practical work (e.g., fashion, tech, mechanics).
o Entrepreneurship – Got a business idea? You might not need a degree to start.
o Job Market – Some companies hire SHS grads for entry-level roles.

𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞
o Ask mentors, teachers, professionals, or family members about their career paths.
o Join career forums or open days at institutions.

𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐡
o Confusion is a sign you're thinking deeply. Take your time. A short course, internship, or volunteering can help you discover what fits.

𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬
o Try free career quizzes or visit guidance websites to see what matches your interests.

𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝗧𝗶𝗽: 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗢𝗸𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀
It’s okay not to figure it out all at once. Stay curious, stay open, and remember — growth is a journey.

You've got this! 💪

We know life gets hard as we grow older, and we sometimes doubt ourselves so much that our motivation fades, leading to giving up. But remember that when your hard effort pays off, you will discover your amazing potential and the opportunities that await you. Embrace the journey since each step puts you closer to your goals and desires.
