Stigmatization remains a significant challenge in today’s world. Everyone deserves to speak about their mental health without fear of judgment. We all play a role in making people feel comfortable to speak up about how they feel. That’s why raising awareness is essential.

How can we support those struggling?

1. When someone opens up, listen. They trust you with their vulnerability, so offer support without judgment.
2. Ask how to help: Don’t assume. Clarify how they want to be supported and suggest professional help where needed. You can refer to us at MANI, 08091116264

Let’s stay connected and support one another, knowing that linked hands can provide collective strength.
