Let’s Talk... Today Is World Mental Health Day & World Suicide Prevention Day - an annual awareness event established to raise awareness about suicide across the globe and working together to prevent it. • Life affects us all differently. We all go through difficult times, and negative emotions can be a healthy reaction to the challenges we face. However, for many of us, things can become more serious, and each year as many as 1 in 4 of us experiences a mental health problem. • More so during these difficult and uncertain times. In one way or another, most folks (including teens and our young ones) mental health is being affected by Covid19 - Overwhelming Fear, grief, isolation, financial worries, anxiety, and stress are to name a few. • Being aware of what can affect our mental health can make it easier to understand when we, or someone we care about, are struggling. Mental health awareness helps us think about what we can do to improve things or where we can get help and support for ourselves and others. • The ‘ASK TWICE’ Rule May Also Help A Mate or Colleague Who Is Struggling. • When I ask a client or friend who is sitting in my chair if they are OK? They will mostly reply with, “Yes, I’m fine thank you.” • However, I can usually sense when someone is Not OK. It’s not in their smile...It shows in their eyes and body language and that’s when I’ll try the caring, ‘ASK TWICE’ rule with “Are You Sure?” I let them know I genuinely care and want to listen (just listening can sometimes make a huge difference). • So if you’re worried about somebody then try ‘Asking Twice’, you truly could help save a life. ❤️ • • • • • #worldmentalhealthday2020 #asktwice #letstalk #covidkindness #covidmentalhealth #sucideawareness #sucideprevention #helpeachother #mentalhealthmatters #itsoknottobeok #kindnessmatters #behindthechair #hairdresserlife #asktwicecampaign #mentalhealthday #worldmentalhealthday #salonthatcares #hairdresserthatlistens #kayandkompany #hairsalon #muswellhill #n10 #n22 #londonsalon #hairstyliststhatcare #instahair #kayandkompanysalon #wecareaboutyou (at Kay and Kompany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGKYK60nd8d/?igshid=1447uhdf8ogkp
