Mental Health Awareness

The media and celebrities have an important role in promoting mental health awareness in the society. The Media and celebrities has really had influence on the public opinion and their behavior are unquestionable, and when it is used responsibly, it is an avenue one can use in breaking the stigma surrounding mental health issues. Now can we see what we can do about the question.

There are so many ways that media and celebrities used to promote mental health awareness and one of the ways is that they create awareness in which they share their own struggles and their experiences with mental health. When all these celebrities open up about what they have been through, they way they fight their own battles with conditions such as depression and anxiety, these has really helps to normalize these conversations and encourages others people to always seek help and support.
There is these celebrity that I always admire so much, though she is a single mother of 2, I have followed her for years and I can tell she is a strong woman, Her name is Korra obidiah.

I can remember when her husband abandoned her few days after she put to birth, and she was able to fight for her health by sharing her issues on social media, she speaks out and now I believe a lot of people will learn from her. Where she is today is greater than where she was before. All this was successful because the media stood up for her and she was able to fight her mental health and became normal.

Another ways that the media and celebrities plays and important role in promoting mental health is that they do this through the portrayal of mental health issues in popular culture. Once this is done properly and sensitively, the media head of mental health will be able to educate the public, will able to stop discrimination and encourage everyone to feel the feelings of others and they will be able to understand each other.

Education is one of the main factor that can improve the understanding of mental health. This can be possible if they consider including mental health education into school curriculums, from here the students will be able to learn somethings about mental health issues, common symptoms, and available resources for support. With this the student know things about mental health at young age and by the time they grow up it will help a lot by breaking down the stigma and it will also encourage open discussions about mental health issues.

Creating supportive environments for mental health discussions is very very important and is another avenue that can be used in promoting positive mental health outcomes. By creating a safe spaces where individuals will feel very comfortable in sharing their experiences and they can also seek for help.

We create a supportive environment in some strategic places like schools, playground like fields, working place and most expercially in communities, from here a training can hold to implement mental health policies and support system.

From here i will draw the curtain by saying that the media and celebrities play an important role in promoting mental health awareness, because they share their personal experiences, with the public and they also share the challenges they face each given day. With this the society will be able to learn from them.
