Supporting Mental Health Organizations and Events
When it comes to mental health awareness, many people are familiar with nonprofit organizations like the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, whose mission is "to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide", and the Mental Health Coalition whose mission is "to catalyze like-minded communities to work together to destigmatize mental health and empower access to vital resources and necessary support for all."
In May there are nationwide celebrations for Mental Health Awareness Month when these and other nonprofit organizations hold large public events in support of suicide prevention and provide access to care for those suffering from mental illnesses. These events are created to facilitate the sharing of mental health resources. There are opportunities for people to utilize tools like depression screenings and other diagnostic systems and to find ways to help manage their mental health by exploring therapy, medication, and other treatments for a variety of mental health conditions.
All of these efforts are an integral part of creating a society that is well-informed about mental health, but outside of joining a formal mental health campaign, what can individuals do to help normalize conversations about mental health? Would you be surprised to know the answer is right on your back?
Clothing for Mental Health
That's right, clothing for mental health is a growing trend that is helping people to feel empowered and motivated on their journey to wellness.
Mental health clothing brands provide clothing items with meaningful phrases and designs that encourage positive self-talk and self-care practices. These clothes serve as a gentle reminder that healing takes time and effort and that you are not alone in your journey.
