Why Your Mental Health Matters
Mental health affects all of us. With kindness, compassion, and support, we can create a future where no one feels alone in their struggles.
Eye-Opening Statistics
- Around 20% of adults in the U.S. experience a mental illness each year.
- More than 124,000 children in Virginia have felt the impact of at least one major depressive episode.
- Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States.
How You Can Help
Here’s how you can make a difference today:
- Check in with a loved one. A simple “How are you?” can spark a meaningful conversation.
- Listen without judgment. Show others you’re willing to understand and care.
- Reach out if you’re struggling. Help is available; you don’t have to go through this alone.
- Share resources like helplines or local support services to connect others with help they might need.
Small Actions, Big Impact
Remember, a single conversation can be life-changing. By reaching out, listening, and showing compassion, you have the power to bring light to someone’s darkest moments. Together, we can create a community built on trust, hope, and care.
