October 4th - 10th Mental Illness Awareness Week
Today is the start of Mental Illness Awareness Week and our aim on 7cups is to teach people more about what different mental illnesses are and how they're as real as any physical illness like a flu that you get. It's time to spread the word and share what you've been going through. I would like to reiterate (like I did in the Invisible Illness Awareness Week) that - Our mental health is as important as our physical one and lets share with the world our unknown stories, and our invisible fights!
Today is also the last day of the Invisible Illness Awareness Week! Do check out what we did for the week here.
The aim of the week is:
☆ To spread the information about mental illnesses and their impact on people's lives
☆ To support people who are suffering from mental illnesses on 7cups and in real life.
☆ To help others share their stories of their mental illnesses
I hope you learn a lot from this week and are able to help others through it, as well! Weve planned a different theme for each day, and a link to each day will be added on the respective day as well. Here is a list:
☆ Sunday, October 4th: Voices of Mental Illness
☆ Monday, October 5th: Learning more about Mental Illnesses
☆ Tuesday, October 6th: Stigma and discrimination
☆ Wednesday, October 7th: Positivity in your own experience
☆ Thursday, October 8th: Moving forward from here
☆ Friday, October 9th: Self acceptance
☆ Saturday, October 10th: World Mental Health Day
