World Mental Health Day: Your Feelings Are Valid.

Dear JEAY Family,

Today, we honor World Mental Health Day, a day set aside to raise awareness about mental well-being and to remind us that mental health is as important as physical health. 

Please know this: you are valid, and so are your emotions. The ups and downs you experience are a natural part of being human, and no one has the right to invalidate your feelings. Mental health is deeply personal, and it’s okay to not have everything figured out all the time. 

Let’s take this day as a call to action to not only reflect on our personal mental health but also to extend kindness to others. Let’s spread love and understanding through kind gestures, not just today but every day. A small act of kindness, a listening ear, or even a simple check-in can mean the world to someone.

Let’s work together to make every day a step closer to a world where mental health is understood, supported, and prioritized.

With compassion and care,

Tolani from JEAY.
