Faces of Mental Health

Faces of Mental Health National Campaign

It’s near impossible for me to find words to describe how honored and humbled I feel to have been invited to be one of the 5 faces of mental health this year for a nation wide campaign. CAMIMH’s Faces of mental health campaign works in partnership with @bell_letstalk to share the stories of 5 individuals, no different from yourself who do their best to live within a world that still holds a strong stigma towards the views of those battling with their mental health. Sharing my journey with others has been likely the most empowering, terrifying, learning and healing experience I have and will ever have throughout my life. I have felt more connection to not just others, but my own self through opening up about the struggles I have had and continue to work through each day. Sharing the tools to which have offered me growth and healing; In turn I feel I have truly learned compassion and felt it deeply from many others who share their stories and support. Treat mental health as an injury, not a disease, not something that can be caught or spread, but something that requires compassion, connection, a little routine and a few deep breathes. “How would your life be different if…You stopped making negative judgmental assumptions about people you encounter? Let today be the day…You look for the good in everyone you meet and respect their journey.” #stevemaraboli
