Link – Why I’m Tired Of Mental Health Awareness Events
I agree with a lot of what James has written in this article. Yes, we need to continue to talk about mental health. The attention the issue has grabbed has made a dent in attitudes and awareness, and there is more to do there.
But, despite all the talk and awareness, we still have a criminally low level of resources available actually to help people. All too often, people who hear these conversations and attend these events wind up looking for help, and finding none.
We have to find the will bring about real change and find real creative solutions to these problems in addition to talking about them.
