You may find that making a difference for others, makes a big difference in you.

Why You Should Care
All humans are one way or the other, interconnected and as a result, what impacts the next person, invariably affects us. The more we learn and be informed about what people have to grapple with, the better our world will be.
You do not have to have mental health issues or be related to someone who does to want to be educated about it.
How do you perceive and treat people with mental health challenges?
How do you react to someone with mental illness?
Do you know that your reaction may make the situation worse for that person who is in dire need of your support?
The more you know, the better equipped you are to handle unexpected situations.
