#JustCheckingIn
We can all take part in Mental Health Awareness Month this May
It’s hard to know what someone else is going through, which is why one of the most important things we can do is ask. We can listen. We can be kind. We can support them.
Of course, we should ask ourselves how we’re doing too. Pay attention to your feelings. Know that people care. Tell yourself it’s alright to ask for help.
In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re asking you to connect with your friends, neighbors, family, community and yourself by #JustCheckingIn.
It’s as simple as performing a small gesture. Giving a token of appreciation. Providing an encouraging word. All of these actions show that you care, and in turn, let someone else know they are cared for—that’s a beautiful thing and it matters more than you’ll ever know.
