It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and this year's theme is #PowerInCommunity.
Communities, networks and social connections can play a big role in our mental wellbeing. Let’s take a moment to embrace those connections and perhaps reach out to someone who might need them too.
This is a poster raising awareness for Mental Health Awareness Week, with the theme being: community. The post is orange with white text reading: There is power in community.
