It’s Mental Health Awareness Month and today I’m sharing what NOT to say to...anyone. A few reminders: 👉🏻Your words matter. 👉🏻Don’t dismiss someone else’s feelings. It’s their feelings and their feelings are valid. 👉🏻Mental health or mental health conditions don’t have a “look.” 👉🏻Avoid toxic positivity. Instead: 👉🏻Be mindful of your words 👉🏻Validate their feelings 👉🏻Listen and offer support 👉🏻Encourage them to seek professional help 🚨 Reminders:⁣ 1.
