🌟 Today marks an important day: Self-Injury Awareness Day (SIAD). 🌟 SIAD serves as a vital reminder to spread awareness and understanding about self-injury, a topic often clouded by misconceptions and stigma in mainstream discourse. It's crucial to recognize that individuals who engage in self-harm often feel isolated and hesitant to seek support due to societal stigma. One step towards fostering understanding and providing effective support is through Mental Health First Aid for Non-Suicidal Self-Injury, an integral component of MHFA training programs. Let's come together to break down barriers, offer compassion, and promote a culture of acceptance and support for those navigating self-injury. #SIAD #SelfInjuryAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #EndTheStigma

Education is #Liberation: #Knowledge about mental health empowers us to be better allies and advocates for change.  Let's seek to understand: Educating ourselves on #mental health isn't just a personal journey; it's a communal endeavor. It equips us to stand as allies, ready to offer #understanding and #support to those navigating mental health challenges. Let's foster an environment where seeking knowledge isn't just encouraged; it's #celebrated. Together, armed with understanding, we pave the way for a world where mental health is embraced and supported without #hesitation or #judgment. Let's seek to understand, advocate for change, and extend empathy to all. #asmi #EducationIsLiberation #MentalHealthAwareness #itsokaytonotbeokay #seekhelp

For many families, summer break is an ideal time to undergo the 28-day course.   Learn more about how Freespira can improve access to mental healthcare at Freespira.com.   #healthequity #mentalhealthmatters #adolescentmentalhealth #teenmentalhealth   Source: Reardon, et al. 2017
