No one is void of facing obstacles in life, some of us are just better at coping with the challenges that life throws at us! For the month of May, I encourage you to reach out to that family member, friend or co-worker who has confided in you about their personal struggles and support them by letting them know that help it out there. As a mental health therapist, it makes me so happy when clients seek the assistance of a professional. That lets us know that an individual is tired of being stuck in a rut and is ready for CHANGE!Also, please do something to support your local mental health organizations. I will be walking in the National Alliance on Mental Illness Walks (NAMIWalks of Greater Houston) this weekend and I am thrilled to advocate for those who are fighting for their lives, and most importantly their minds.
Cheers to bringing awareness to mental health illness!
