Mental Health Awareness - We All Have A Mental Health
On Sunday 2nd June 2019, Lotus Prime Care participated in the Oshwal Health and Care Awareness Fair. We started the day by speaking to people of all ages on the mental health stand answering questions about mental health. We spoke to individuals about careers in psychology, what is the role of a clinical psychologist, when to seek help, how to seek help, supporting relatives and facts about different mental health conditions. We had some very interesting and thought-provoking discussions about the links between the mind and body, about the prevalence of mental ill health worldwide and the stigma of mental health in different communities. Later on in the day, Dr Chirag Gorasia gave a talk on mental health (for more details on the content, see our article). The key messages from the day were that we want to promote and create greater awareness of mental health difficulties and our collective responsibility for looking after both our own mental health and the mental health of others.
We believe mental health is just as important as physical health. It is okay not to be okay - seeking help should not be seen as a sign of weakness. Lotus Prime Care strives to promote awareness of the importance of looking after your mental health and we are very passionate about this. This is a key part of our values. If you feel you need help with your mental health, please do not hesitate to get in contact with us by going to our contact us page.
