Lets Talk About Mental Health

Overview

Mental health is a subject that isn’t widely discussed as the norm. There is a stigma when it comes to talking about it, with a fear of not using the right language, causing offence, or feeling awkward. Equally, there are many myths that are slowly being dispelled that stereotype the behaviour of those with mental illhealth. The most powerful way to prevent mental ill-health is to talk about it. This is how mental health is normalised and stigmas can be tackled.
