For people with disabilities, maintaining a mental well-being balance can be challenging because of social drivers of health, which can include physical environment, transportation, employment, language skills, discrimination, financial status, and access to healthcare. With support, people with disabilities can learn, work, and interact with their families and communities.

With mental health problems continuing to affect so many of us, the need for more awareness, knowledge and understanding is still crucial. 🧠 This week we recognise Mental Health Awareness Week, an annual event that aims to raise awareness of mental health problems, highlight the importance of looking after our mental health, encourage people to speak more about it, and eliminate the stigma surrounding it. 🌍💚 Visit www.mentalhealth.org.uk to find out more.

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay and October 7 - 13 is Mental Illness Awareness Week. According to NAMI, one in five Americans is affected by mental health conditions. Together, we can work to end the stigma surrounding mental health conditions and use our voices to educate and spread compassion and understanding. #CureStigma #MIAW | George Washington University Hospital
