If you are going through a difficult time with your mental health, please know that you really are not alone and there is nothing wrong with you. There is help available.
By now, most of us are aware of the importance of mental health and, thanks to the continued work of dedicated people and organisations, the stigma of mental ill health is reducing as our understanding grows. May is mental health awareness month and it began in 1949 as a means to raise awareness of mental health with the message: “We’re all in this together.”
All of us have mental health, just as each of us has physical health. Both mental and physical health can experience stresses and strains that call on us to take care of ourselves. When there’s a more serious issue at hand, it’s wise to seek professional help to get ourselves back on track.
