"Mental health is important because we need to take care of our mental health in order to be able to have good relationships in life. I want to be able to have the best relationships I can with friends and family, and in order to do that I have to make sure my mental health is good.

People need to know they are not alone. We need more mental health resources so people can deal with their mental health properly."

"Taking care of your mental health keeps society peaceful & productive, and active. I have dealt with my own struggles, and I have friends and some family who have dealt with the same. Sometimes I think about how many families are hurt from not knowing how to help their loved ones.

I think about how many people are suffering in silence, and don't know how to get through it. This can create more stigma if we don't create a safe space for all of us."

"Mental health is more important than people realize. There are so many people struggling, often with a smile and joyous demeanor. People of all walks of life have a story and struggles and it only gets better when we talk about it, find someone who can relate with us. Talking about our mental health helps destigmatize it and builds empathy between us.

I have three young children whose mental health journey's started early in life. From anxiety and depression to suicidal thoughts and attempts. If it wasn't for the availability of mental services through school, I don't know what today would look like. I encourage everyone to treat each other better."

"I think taking care of your mental health is important for all people. Right now the state of the world is not in a great place, and I feel that it is important for people to be closer to each other than ever.

I think in my community it is really needed. I have seen the result of not taking care of your mental health."

"Mental health is just as important as physical health because they both are part of our overall well-being. I have family and friends that have dealt with struggles and stressors in life.

Just like how different parts of the body work in harmony, our mental and physical health must do the same. Together we can make a change, and reduce the stigma together."
