Mental Health Resources
As the holidays approaches, it is important to recognise that 54% of people have serious concerns during this season about the mental health of someone they know. (Mental Health Foundation survey) A quarter of the people polled say that Christmas makes their mental health worse (YouGov survey). The ads and movies that promote this time of year as a season of joy, celebration, and togetherness do not reflect everyone’s very real experience and often push people who are struggling with mental health to feel worse. Employers, should you have the privilege of employment, often have in-house support, often for free. Please check then, if possible for you, use them to vote for the continuance of thta sort of service. No-employment-required resources follow, demographically geared for the people most likely to be reading this post.
If you know a participant in Culturesmith and need support, please reach out. If not, in a moment during which you are most emotionally composed, please reach out to someone else most likely to offer meaningful support.
