Raising your self-awareness
EVERYONE experiences challenging times and it's normal to react emotionally when going through them.
Our life experiences, past trauma, upbringing, environment, culture even our daily habits all affect our mental wellbeing influencing how we think, behave and react to situations.
EVERYONE is different, so don’t compare yourself to others. It’s important to connect with others and share experiences to become more informed.
EVERYONE should feel heard, valued and supported without feeling judged or ashamed.
A conversation can be the different way to seeing life.
The more people share their experiences, the more others are able to recognise their own problems and feel comfortable seeking the support they need.
