This week is Mental Health Awareness Week.
It’s a reminder that “it’s okay to not be okay”, and none of us has to go through tough moments alone. This week encourages all of us to slow down, check in, and be honest about how we’re really doing. And more than anything, it’s a call to look out for each other — because connection truly makes a difference.
Mental Health Awareness Week is a dedicated week designed to:
- Educate people about mental health
- Reduce stigma so more people feel safe asking for help
- Encourage action through conversations, community events, and daily habits that support well‑being
The week encourages simple, everyday actions:
- Check in on someone who’s been quiet
- Start a conversation about mental health
- Invite someone for a walk or coffee
- Share resources or stories
Even small gestures help build a culture where people feel seen, supported, and valued.
Today, we had our weekly chat with Linda Kelly, from KELLY MENTAL HEALTH. Check it out here:
“We’re human – we think and we feel, and unfortunately in our society, we’ve been taught to suppress or ignore our feelings…which is our very first, basic language”. – Linda Kelly
“To change something – the pain of changing, needs to be less painful than the pain of staying the same. That’s how we grow”. ~ Linda Kelly
