Mental health awareness starts with each of us. If you know someone who’s struggling, be there for them: ask how they’re doing, listen without judgment, and help them connect to the resources they need.

Mental health affects every part of our lives - the way we think, feel, interact with others, and experience the world around us.

Everyone has mental health, just like everyone has physical health, and it is totally normal to have ups and downs.

Struggling with your mental health doesn't mean somethings wrong with you - it just means you're human. There is nothing to be ashamed of. There is no shame in reaching out for support.

It is important to keep these conversations going - not just this week, but always.

As we recognize Mental Health Awareness Month, join us as we take a moment to reflect and remind ourselves of the following:

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we would like to share some tips on how we can all boost our mental health.

There are lots of evidence-backed ways to boost our mental health, including:
✔️ community
✔️ spending time in nature
✔️ and movement.

This Mental Health Awareness Week – why not maximise the mental health benefits of community, and combine it with spending time in nature and movement?

Are you part of a community that supports good mental health? Tell us about it in the comments!

Don’t forget to share what you’re doing today for Wear It Green Day – a day to raise funds and awareness for good mental health. 💚
