Community and Mental Health

“Good mental health translates to good physical health and this new report makes a compelling case for change.”

“We need to transform our attitudes, actions and approaches to promote and protect mental health, and to provide and care for those in need.”
This article talks about the importance of community in regards to mental health treatment. Mental health links to so many more issues such as equality and access. It’s very important to treat these mental health challenges in everyone. Community plays a large role in that.
Recently, when I started a mental health support group at my school, I learned how attitudes towards mental health in a community can influence decisions to get treatment. It’s important to maintain a community that has a positive attitude towards mental health. Reducing the stigma around these mental health challenges is essential to creating a world where mental health issues are treated. Community plays a large role in treating mental health issues. Whether it’s starting support groups, working to reduce stigma, or educating others, taking action is important.
