Welcome to the Mental Health Week Toolkit. You’ll find everything you need here to spread empathy far and wide.
Go ahead and post using our ready-to-use social media messages and images. You might want to change your Zoom background and print out the poster. Next, visit Info & Articles for a deeper dive into empathy.
Finally, and most importantly, bring empathy alive with the people in your life. Be there, listen completely, and see the world through their eyes. It’s how to really help. #GetReal.
