mental health

Someone you love has been deeply affected by mental illness. Very likely many. Sometimes we know about it, and too often, we don't. We need to keep working on positive dialogue & awareness, strong support systems and effective treatments. We need to keep talking to end the stigma. At its worst, mental illness can be fatal. It is long past time to invest in mental health at the very least to the same extent we invest in physical health.

In writing, a semicolon is a sign for reader to pause before continuing
a sentence.
The semicolon has become a symbol of hope and/or support for those struggling with mental illness - a reminder that that their story isn’t over yet, and a catalyst for positive, open dialogue.

The butterfly can represent change, renewal, hope and courage.

The lotus flower can represent our ability to come from a place of suffering into the light, much like the lotus, whose roots start in the muddy earth and rise up through the water to the light of the sun.

The dragonfly can represent change and transformation, and a reminder for us to try to move from the dark and shadows to allow more light and joy in our lives. A dragonfly suggests a transformation to become who we really are.
