I PLEDGE TO BE A MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATE IN MY COMMUNITY:
LISTEN: I will listen to those struggling with mental health, knowing that I do not always need to have an answer. My understanding and empathy can be more powerful than advice.
SHARE: I will share 'good' and factual information about mental health, ensuring that my words contribute positively to the conversation.
EDUCATE: I will educate my immediate circle about mental illness, taking a positive stance, and promoting understanding.
FOLLOW: I will follow and repeat only reputable sources when speaking about mental health to ensure that the information I spread is accurate and responsible.
ATTENTION: I will pay attention to warning signs of mental health issues in those around me, offering support and encouragement to seek professional help when needed.
ENGAGE: I will engage and ask questions, encouraging an open dialogue about mental health and ensuring that those who need support feel seen and heard.
I recognize the impact of mental health on individuals and communities, and I commit to these actions as part of my role as a mental health advocate. Together one heart at a time, we can build a world where mental health is understood, accepted, and supported.
Thank you for helping us make a difference!
