Let's acknowledge that mental health is not a fad term—it's a real and vital aspect of well-being. Including it as a disability on workplace questionnaires may inadvertently perpetuate stigma. Instead, let's focus on fostering supportive environments where everyone feels valued. Action speaks louder than discrimination. #mentalhealthmatters #letstalk

Mental health matters. This #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, let's talk numbers: 1 in 20 U.S. adults experience serious mental illness each year. That's a significant portion of our population! But there's hope: 65.4% with serious mental illness received treatment in 2021. ✨The issue? For youth, the numbers are even higher. 1 in 6 have a mental health condition, yet only half get the help they need. ✨Why it matters: These numbers are on the rise. Early access to care can make a big difference. Let's break the stigma and encourage open conversations. ️ What you can do: 🫂 Check on friends and family. You never know who might be struggling. Share resources! There's free or low-cost help available. Be kind - you might be the light someone needs. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #youarenotalone
