Earlier
this month, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention kicked-off the #RealConvo Challenge to draw attention to
Mental Health Awareness Month and encourage others to have authentic
conversations about their mental health. A recent survey revealed that
even as people are experiencing anxiety and sadness more often now
compared to before the coronavirus pandemic, Americans are talking more frequently about mental health (10% more now than before the pandemic).
This
increase in honest conversations about mental health only helps the AFSP's
mission of saving lives. That is why they challenge YOU to have a #RealConvo and encourage others to do the same! Simply follow the steps below:
- First: have a #RealConvo about your mental health
- Then, share your experience on social media and use #RealConvo
- Finally, tag a friend in your post, encouraging them to do the same!
