Thought for the day – 1 in 4

1 in 4 is challenged with mental illness.  That means in a room of 4 people there may be a chance that 1 person may be mentally ill. 

Invariably that means that among all the people you know…  family, friends, neighbors, work colleagues, acquaintances, people you just know facially, social media friends…among these lovely people, there are people challenged with mental illness.

Don’t ignore the importance of mental health.  Don’t ignore that someone is mentally ill.  It may happening closer than you dare to think….!

Please share to remind people that mental illness is not in the ‘head’ i.e. people’s imaginations…it is REAL!
