💚 World Mental Health Day – 10th October 💚

Your mental health matters. 🌍✨

World Mental Health Day is an important reminder to prioritise our mental well-being and support those around us. This year’s theme focuses on reducing stigma, raising awareness, and ensuring everyone has access to the support they need.

Mental health affects people of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures. Taking time to care for your mind is just as important as caring for your body. Whether it’s talking to a loved one, reaching out for professional support, or practising self-care, remember – you are not alone. 💙
