It’s World Mental Health Day!
💚 Today is World Mental Health Day, first initiated in 1992 by the World Federation for Mental Health to raise awareness and support for mental well-being across the globe.
Dr. Maya Angelou often wrote about healing and the strength we find within and alongside others. In her poem “Alone,” she reminds us:
✨ “Lying, thinking / Last night / How to find my soul a home / Where water is not thirsty / And bread loaf is not stone / I came up with one thing / And I don’t believe I’m wrong / That nobody / But nobody / Can make it out here alone.”
Her words encourage us to remember that caring for our mental health is not something we must do in isolation. Reaching out, leaning on community, and offering compassion to ourselves and others are all acts of strength.
Today, and every day, let us choose connection, kindness, and hope.
