You are the expert of your lived experience.
This year’s World Mental Health Day theme is, “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.”
People with lived experiences with mental health struggles are often excluded from decision making and policy making efforts. This year’s goal is to “build mental health systems with people with lived experience and not merely for them.”
Share your story and lend a listening ear to those around you. Get involved in your community to help shape the very legislation and resources that dictate mental health services.
