Breaking the Stigma: Prioritizing Mental Well-being Through Personal Stories and Awareness

The month of May is a crucial time to focus on the factors that contribute to our mental well-being, such as childhood trauma, genetics, and feelings of loneliness or isolation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that women are almost twice as likely as men to suffer from major depression, highlighting the need for increased awareness and support for mental health issues in women.

In a recent segment on CBS Texas, Cheryl Polote Williamson, author of the book “Affirmed,” and Kim Roxie, founder of cosmetic company Lamik Beauty, discussed the importance of mental health awareness and the ways in which individuals can seek help and support for their mental well-being.

By bringing attention to mental health issues and sharing personal stories and experiences, individuals like Cheryl Polote Williamson and Kim Roxie are helping to break down the stigma surrounding mental health. Their work serves to educate and empower others to prioritize their mental well-being and seek the help they need to live healthy, fulfilling lives.
