Prioritizing Mental Health without Shame or Stigma
As we contemplate Mental Wellness Month, we acknowledge the positive shift in societal attitudes toward mental health. Despite this progress, it's essential to recognize that there is still work to be done. Lingering generational stigmas continue to hinder young people from seeking and utilizing therapy, even as society increasingly prioritizes it as a pathway to better health. Understanding the prevalence of mental health events and appreciating therapy as a valuable resource contribute to fostering a culture of well-being. In this evolving landscape, mental health emerges as an indispensable component of a thriving society, one where individuals are supported, and seeking help is regarded as a proactive step toward building a healthier, more compassionate community.
The Steps on How to Grieve
Grieving is a process that takes time and can be difficult to navigate. It's essential to allow yourself to feel your emotions, talk to someone you trust, take care of yourself, and find a way to honor the person or thing you've lost. Seek professional help if needed, and remember that it's okay to move on. Compartmentalizing your grief can also be helpful to move on and not let it derail your entire day. Keep in mind that everyone grieves differently and that there is no right or wrong way to grieve.
