May is Mental Health Awareness Month – You Can Have a #RealConvo with Me. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is focusing their attention on having a #RealConvo about mental health. They learned through a recent Harris Poll that 89 percent of people believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. Despite this, many people don’t know how to have a conversation about it.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month
You Can Have a #RealConvo with Me
This awareness month has been observed in May in the United States since 1949.
May of 2018, they launched a social media campaign encouraging people to talk about mental health.
For May is Mental Health Awareness Month they are asking for your help. Please share a picture of yourself on social media (Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram) holding up a sign that says, “You Can Have a #RealConvo with Me.” Tag @AFSPNational and use the dedicated hashtag #RealConvo.
They may have wanted this done on May 16th, but this still can be done anytime!
You may also add a caption that includes a personal story of why the subject is important to you, such as:
- We all have mental health. Let’s have a #RealConvo about it!
- I lost my best friend to suicide. It’s so important to have a #RealConvo about mental health.
- If you’re struggling with your mental health, you can count on me to have a #RealConvo.
They hope you’ll lend your voice to this important campaign. By sharing this message, and encouraging others to do so, you will make an enormous impact.
