Experiencing a happy and fulfilled life is essential to the human experience. However, research shows that one in every five adults in the US is challenged with a mental health condition. In truth, many of these conditions go undiagnosed, and the societal stigma involved can effect an individual’s ability to lead a secure and productive life. Mental health professionals and nonprofit organizations tirelessly campaign to educate our society and help those struggling with mental health. To illustrate, October 10th is World Mental Health Day, and on March 5 Multiple Personality Day is observed. And as for July, the entire month is dedicated to mental health awareness. These events provide a platform to discuss upcoming projects, offer mental health advice, and lessen the stigmatism associated with mental health. These critical organizations require funding to operate. Subsequently, nonprofits, clinicians, researchers, and other mental health professionals use tools like GrantWatch<\/a><\/strong> to locate mental health grants<\/strong><\/a> for their cause. Donations are helpful. However, funding from awarded mental health awareness grants provides further resources for organizations to reach those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Mental Health Awareness<\/strong> Matters to Our Society <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Over half of <\/strong>the individuals burdened with mental illness don’t receive help. Research shows childhood trauma,<\/strong> social isolation, discrimination, and social disadvantages along with the stigma of mental illness<\/a><\/strong> deters individuals from seeking the care they need to live a healthy and fulfilled life. Changes in technology have also impacted mental health. A lack of digital literacy<\/a><\/strong>, or isolation due to too much screen time impacts mental health. The pendulum goes both ways. Because of this, professionals all over the globe diligently work together to increase awareness of mental health. No longer are we hunters and gatherers. Society, as a whole, now has the luxury to focus on mental health. <\/em>Professionals dedicated to raising awareness for mental health are the ones initiating the removal of stigmas correlated with mental illness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Talking openly about mental health can reduce the misconceptions and stigma, and can encourage those who are suffering to seek help and find a support network. It’s important to understand the impact that mental health has on daily life. When people are better educated on these conditions, they can better support and help someone dealing with a mental health issue. Mental health awareness provides an opportunity for fundraising, outreach, and awareness events. This, in turn, can help support research, fund treatment options, and connect advocates to create a brighter, more promising future for mental health care.<\/p>\nLifespan Health System<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Help For Mental Health<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, text or call\u00a0988<\/a>\u00a0for the National Suicide and Crisis Hotline, or call the\u00a0Lifespan Outpatient Psychiatry<\/a>\u00a0crisis lines 24 hours a day, seven days a week at\u00a0401-723-1915<\/a>or\u00a0401-553-1031<\/a>. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your mental health impacts your physical health. Above all, if you need to speak to a professional, do so immediately! Be brave, there is no shame involved in asking for help. What’s more, technology has changed the Future of Mental Health<\/a><\/strong>. Because of this, mental health apps and tools can be used in the privacy of your own home. Do you know someone who is experiencing mental health challenges? The most impactful thing that you can do is to reach out<\/strong><\/a>. Initiate a conversation with loved ones. It may not always be an easy task, but communicating saves lives. Confront any feelings of stigma or judgment. Help bring awareness to mental health into your social circles. Create a positive change in your life and theirs by offering genuine support to your loved ones. They will likely shine after your kindness and acceptance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Often, people avoid or delay seeking treatment due to concerns about being treated differently or fears of losing their jobs and livelihoods. That’s because stigma, prejudice, and discrimination against people with mental illness are still very much a problem. Stigma not only directly affects individuals with mental illness but also the loved ones who support them, often including their family members. The stigma around mental illness can be a major barrier to people from those cultures accessing mental health services.<\/p>\nStigma, Prejudice, and Discrimination Against People with Mental Illness<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
