💚 It’s World Mental Health Day! 💚

Today is a reminder to talk about mental health and show that it truly matters — but let’s remember, every day is a good day to talk about how we’re feeling. 💬

Opening up about our mental health helps us cope better with life’s ups and downs. Sharing with others reminds us that we’re not alone — we’re all in this together.

So why not take a moment today to check in with your friends, family, or colleagues? A simple conversation can make a big difference. 💚
