Mental health problems don’t define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but, importantly, you are not the rain.

– Matt Haig

Every year in May we celebrate mental health awareness. It’s a good time to have a conversation about mental health and the impact of mental health on our well-being. Everyone struggles with mental health challenges in their lifetime so if you are struggling, know that you are not alone. Connection and support can be instrumental in helping to move through the challenge with grace and kindness – some resources we have access to that can help.
