Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!
As we transform we have to take the time to be honest about where we are in our mind, body, and spirit. Nobody wants to be the odd one out so when mental instability begins to show we tend to try to hide it. You do not need to hide any more.
Mental Illness Awareness Week
Each year, millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition. However, mental illness affects everyone directly or indirectly through family, friends or coworkers. Despite mental illnesses’ reach and prevalence, stigma and misunderstanding are also, unfortunately, widespread.
That is why each year, during October, NAMI and participants across the country raise awareness of mental illness. Each year, we educate the public, fight stigma and provide support. And each year, our movement grows stronger.
We believe that mental health conditions are important to discuss year-round, but highlighting them during Mental Illness Awareness Week provides a dedicated time for mental health advocates across the country to come together as one unified voice. Since 1990, when Congress officially established the first full week of October as Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW), advocates have worked together to sponsor activities, large or small, to educate the public about mental illness. https://www.nami.org/
Don't suffer in silence. Get help. Remember, iron sharpens iron. We ALL need help to be our sharpest.
Until tomorrow
#liveBlessed
