July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month! At Cyber Proud, we recognize the unique challenges faced by racial and ethnic minorities in the tech industry. Mental health is crucial for success and well-being, and yet, many in our communities face barriers like lack of access to care and stigma. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It's essential to our overall health, and taking care of it can help us handle stress, relate to others, and make decisions. This month, let's raise awareness and support mental health for all. If you need immediate help, call or text 988 to reach the '988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline'. You can also chat at https://988lifeline.org/ to speak with a trained crisis counselor. Together, we can create a supportive environment for everyone in tech. #MinorityMentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #TechForAll #SupportAndThrive #CyberProudCares https://lnkd.in/e5hx62WE
