May is Mental Health Awareness Month, intended to support and educate people about the realities of mental health. It’s a topic that affects everyone—whether you know it or not, the stress and anxiety of the modern world get to all of us.
By removing stigma, Mental Health Awareness Month aims to help people address their mental health needs and overall happiness. That’s why it’s important to educate others about what this month stands for, and ways we can all address our mental health difficulties in our own lives. A great way to gently and mindfully address this topic is by contemplating the wisdom of others.
