Subscribe! New videos every week!!!: https://goo.gl/44TAEq As we round closer to Mental Health Awareness Week, we're sure that some people are wondering if mental health is being taken seriously? Why are people still taking their lives? why are people not being taken seriously or monitored? how about mental health in the workplace? Do you feel that workers get enough support? Mental Health Awareness Week is hosted by the Mental Health Foundation. Mental Health Awareness Week 2019 will take place from Monday 13 to Sunday 19 May 2019. In 2018, Mental Health Awareness Week was focused on stress. “Research has shown that 16 million people experience a mental health problem each year,” explains the MHF, “and stress is a key factor in this.” As part of its attempts to further open dialogue about mental health, the foundation organised a so-called “Curry and Chaat” initiative – where people got together with friends and enjoyed their company over a curry, whilst raising money for good causes. For our viewers who suffer from mental health or have friends or relatives that suffer from mental health, know that you are not alone and that there are many services available to you! Don't suffer in silence, there are so many reasons for you to stay here and keep fighting! We know you are tired, exhausted and ready to give up but you can do this!!
