Why Mental Health and Talking Matters
Mental health affects how we think, feel, and interact with the world. Talking about mental health can break the stigma, encouraging more people to seek help. When people open up about their struggles, it creates a supportive environment and helps others realize they are not alone. The knock-on effect of these conversations can lead to improved relationships, better workplace support, and a more compassionate society.
