Thank you Jim for helping spread awareness.

Today is World Mental Health Day, which serves to bring awareness and generate support for this important issue. As individuals, we can take steps every day to help promote our own mental well-being, but there are times when additional resources may prove necessary.

Mental health struggles impact many families, and mine was no exception. I witnessed my own mother's mental health challenges and felt firsthand the effects of it. We have a duty to advocate for mental health on behalf of ourselves and others and to help combat the negative stigma so often associated with it.

🩵💜

September is Su***de Prevention Month. 💜🩵

But these reminders aren’t just for September.

You Matter.
You are not alone.
The world is better with you in it.
Someone’s world is better because you exist.
Everyone has a story - so be kind.
And it is not weak to speak.

Su***de prevention isn’t a month.

It’s every single day. Keep checking on your people. Keep having the hard conversations. Keep reminding people they matter -
because sometimes we have no idea how badly someone needs to hear it.

💜🩵 YOU MATTER. Always.
