Mental Health Awareness Month is an opportunity for us to come together and break the stigmas around mental health through advocacy and education. This year, we asked our clinicians to shed light on myths providers often come across and how to address them. Have you had to debunk any of these myths (or others) in your practice? Let us know how you’d respond in the comments below ?? #MHAM2024 #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth2024 #MentalHealth #SelfCare

National Minority Mental Health Month aims to raise awareness about the unique mental health challenges faced by minority communities. It is important to recognize and address the disparities in access to mental health resources and services that exist for minority populations. This month serves as a reminder to prioritize mental health and wellness for all individuals, regardless of race or ethnicity. By promoting education, advocacy, and support, we can work towards eliminating stigma and ensuring that everyone has access to the care they need. Let us use this month to start important conversations, break down barriers, and promote understanding and acceptance within our communities. Together, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for those struggling with mental health issues. #minoritymentalhealthawarenessmonth #advocate #support

Since United for Global Mental Health was launched, the American Friends of UnitedGMH has supported its work. Today the outgoing Chair of American Friends of United for Global Mental Health - Gabrielle Fitzgerald - and I share some reflections on mental health today. Dedicated campaigning has placed mental health on the global agenda, leading to significant policy milestones like UN and WHO resolutions. Countries are updating their mental health laws and decriminalising suicide, with UnitedGMH supporting these efforts in places like Pakistan and Ghana. International donors are closing a $200 billion investment gap, integrating mental health into their strategies, while innovative solutions and youth-led initiatives are driving change and support worldwide. I encourage you to read about these inspiring milestones and join us in celebrating the remarkable strides we've made as a mental health community. Working as a global team we all remain committed to achieving the vision of a world where everyone, everywhere, has access to mental health support, free of stigma or restrictions. @PanoramaGlobal #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, 10/10/24, I would like to invite you to join me on October 18th as I discuss the impact that living with a rare and chronic disease, such as IgG4-related disease, can have on an individual's mental health. During this discussion, we will explore important topics, including the barriers and stigma faced when addressing one's mental health, effective coping strategies and how mental health can evolve throughout one's journey. As a caregiver to my husband who lives with IgG4-RD, I have firsthand experience navigating the challenges of supporting someone with a chronic illness. I believe it is crucial that we have open and honest conversations about the mental health implications. By sharing stories and insights, we can work towards greater understanding, empathy and support for the IgG4-RD community. I hope you will join me on October 18th to witness this meaningful dialogue. Together, we can help to remove the stigma of mental health struggles and empower those affected by chronic diseases to prioritize their overall well-being.
