It seems mental health is (finally!) becoming a household phrase. No longer does it imply that something is wrong or unhealthy. No longer are therapeutic support or mental health tools so hush-hush or drenched in shame.
But there’s still work to do.
The truth is, we’re just waking up to the fact that we can always be improving our mental health.
And it’s an ongoing, worthwhile journey.
With the ACE assessment, we can pinpoint the things in our childhood that could be contributing to mental health challenges, and when we take an inventory of our positive childhood experiences, we can reflect on the things that helped us create a foundation of resilience, positivity, mental strength, and compassion.
But, life continues to be challenging, in childhood and in adulthood.
So what’s wrong with getting a little help?
When it comes to the quest to destigmatize mental health, it’s one thing to be aware of the existence of mental health and quite another to be accepting of it as a beautiful and worthwhile pursuit.
Acceptance runs much deeper than simply being aware, and it unites us based on our shared desire for genuine happiness. I believe accepting mental health is a necessary stepping stone on the path to destigmatizing it once and for all.
So, this is calling to help destigmatize mental health with acceptance—acceptance of ourselves, our peers, our children, our family, and our friends in however that mental health journey unfolds. To see mental health as a necessary part of life and a wonderful, worthy pursuit for all. To accept fully and with friendliness, care, and compassion: the recipe of love.
