No need for extra words. This is one side of a board seen in downtown New Plymouth. In a country with appalling rates of youth suicide, anything that supports and encourages better mental health is very welcome.
Sounds good and how sad that they have high rates of youth suicide – so sad – and so many folks are hurting around the world and it is good to see messages that speak life and can lift us up!
Great post, Su! We have the same mental health problems here in Canada. The appalling suicide rates are a sign of inner emptiness in our modern world. Best wishes! Peter
some good ideas on that board – thanks for sharing

I thought so too. There are three more sides — all with good positive messages too. I’ll post them another time.

You are right Peter. We have become divorced from nature and swallowed up by consumerism and technology.

I agree. I’m sure I’ve also seen a wall where people can come and write their own messages around mental health. I just can’t remember where 🤔
