♡ Your activism and support of people with mental health issues should extend into every week of the year not just the one week that's allocated to mental health awareness.
♡ Yes, it's great that a lot of amazing work is done during MH awareness week but are the people that are posting Facebook statuses saying 'post this message on your timeline if you're always here if someone needs to talk' the same people that actually follow through on that promise? Are they the same people that correct others in their everyday lives when they use mental health conditions as adjectives or call people with mental health issues 'crazy?'
♡ There is still so much work to do in regards to the stigma surrounding mental health issues, and so many people are still being discriminated against and suffering unnecessarily. So please join me in working to raise awareness of mental health conditions every day of the year, it's hard work but it's worth it, I promise.
Love,Tess
