🌐👥 Mental Health Advocacy: Breaking the Silence on OCD! 👥🌐 As a therapist and a leading voice in mental health, I've encountered numerous cases where OCD symptoms were misdiagnosed or misunderstood. It's crucial for therapists to have a basic understanding of these symptoms to provide effective help. Educating ourselves is key to creating a safe space for clients with OCD to share their experiences. 💞 🌌 In my practice, I prioritize discussing various symptoms early on, encouraging clients to open up about their struggles without fear or shame. I'm passionate about spreading awareness, and I offer a concise 1-hour training for schools and programs to enhance understanding and destigmatize OCD. Let's collaborate in educating our field and dismantling stigma, fostering inclusivity in mental health discussions. 🧠💙 #MentalHealthAwareness #OCDUnderstanding #BreakTheStigma #TherapistPerspective

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! As we embark on this month dedicated to raising awareness about mental health, let's pledge to foster a culture of understanding, support, and empathy. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and it's crucial that we prioritize it in our personal and professional lives. As a social worker deeply passionate about mental health advocacy, I am committed to destigmatizing conversations around mental health and promoting access to resources for those in need.

Together, we can make a difference. 💚 #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #EndTheStigma #SelfCare

Mental Health Awareness has increased the last five years, and this month I want to continue pushing for advocacy. Mental Health affects on average 1 in 5 adults in the nation (CDC.org), however that is not including children or the elderly population. There are only about 20,000 registered/licensed mental health professionals in the state of GA (bls.gov). There are not enough professionals to truly meet the need of those struggling. Someone who struggles with mental health needs a wide support system and many do not seek professional help. Please educate yourself and provide a safe, open space for a friend, family member, or loved one because you never know who is struggling in silence. This May take time to check in with a loved one, make a commitment to educating yourself, and create an environment that promotes more understanding. #MentalHealthAwareness2024 #MentalHealthAdvocate #MentalHealthProfessionals
