Telling someone to man up can result in a man down. By sharing stories and not judging each other we can reduce shame and isolation.
Those of us who have experienced mental health problems or supported friends, colleagues or loved ones, can make a big difference by speaking out.
It might be 2019, but there are sadly still a lot of myths surrounding mental health. These misunderstandings can cause people to feel ashamed which can lead to isolation and worsening of mental health problems. Let’s all play a part in changing these perceptions by sharing true stories.
