Rachel,

Thank you for sharing your ideas on how to de-estigmatize mental health and increase awareness and normalization of such talks. I would have to agree with you with the education piece of the post. I, without a doubt, believe that the more we educate others on the importance of speaking about these topics, and “normalizing” the idea that this exists and not talking about it can cause the opposite of what people intend to do, which is “feel better”, the more likely people’s mental health would increase, and the more people would reach out for help.
