30 Day Challenge - Mental Health Awareness and a Positive Sense of Self

@ThePsychologySpot
#PsychSpotChallenge

Do you have Instagram? Are you following The Psychology Spot on Instagram? If you aren't you should, this is a challenge you will definitely want to be a part of!

This 30 day challenge is all about promoting your well-being and inspiring others to do the same. Instagram is a great tool for sharing pictures from your daily life, and giving others a glimpse into what makes you, you! There is a lot of stigma associated with mental health and so I figured this would be a great way to embrace yourself, regardless of whether or not mental illness plays a role in your life. It's all about raising awareness!

Mental Health Illnesses are said to affect 1 out of every 4 people, many who go untreated or are unaware. The biggest contributor to people not seeking out help is the stigma associated with mental health. As an aspiring therapist, this is a barrier that I'll be facing and so this is also something that I want to advocate for. This "challenge" is all about embracing yourself by promoting a positive and healthy sense of self while focusing on all of the great things you are!
