Change. There are times in our lives where we are at our highest high and times where we can even be at our lowest low. Change. Living life with a constant struggle of what can be right and what can be wrong to do in our lives to make ourselves happy. Change. Don’t be afraid of change, but also realize there are some things you should not change.
With suicide being the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S., a significant change is needed to increase the overall attention and care of mental health. Awareness is the first step toward healing, and implementing mental health education in schools, in all 50 states, could initiate a vital change for the mental health community. With the mid-term elections behind us and new faces in office, hopefully this will be a top priority.
