A simple 8-minute phone call can make a world of difference. Research shows that just a brief, empathetic conversation can significantly reduce feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. In fact, one study found that participants who engaged in regular 10-minute phone calls reported a 20% decrease in loneliness over a month. (source: PhillyVoice) Some days are harder than others, and that’s okay. It’s important to acknowledge that mental health struggles are real and valid, and we all have different journeys. But by supporting each other, sharing our stories, and raising awareness, we can help create a world where no one feels alone in their struggles. Let’s keep the conversation going and remember—help is always available. Together, we are stronger. #EndTheStigma #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #YouAreNotAlone (fb)
