October is National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month.
It was created to raise awareness about the importance of mental health screenings and seeking help for depression. This month serves as a reminder for everyone to prioritize their mental well-being and check in on their loved ones who may be struggling with mental health issues. Remember, it is okay to not be okay. There are resources and support available to help you through difficult times. Let’s work together to break the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage open conversations about our emotional well-being.
Some ways you can participate in National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month include:
– Encouraging friends, family, and colleagues to take a mental health screening to check in on their mental well-being.
– Sharing information and resources about mental health screenings and where to seek help if needed.
– Participating in virtual events or webinars focused on mental health awareness and education.
– Take time to prioritize self-care and practice healthy coping mechanisms for managing stress and emotions.
– Reach out to loved ones who may be struggling and offer your support and understanding.
Remember, you are not alone in your struggles and help is available.
