We know everyone’s mental health journey is different but one thing we all share is the need for support, understanding, and hope.

👉 In one word, how do you look after your mental health?
(Examples: walking, music, family, journaling, sea, laughter…)

Drop your word in the comments 👇 together we’ll create a wall of inspiration that shows how powerful even the smallest acts of self-care can be.

Because when we share, we remind each other: no one is alone in this. 💚
