Chyler Leigh Instagram – One of the first steps you can take to be an advocate for mental health is to arm yourself with knowledge. Knowing about signs and symptoms if someone is struggling, how to open up a conversation about mental health, and resources that are available to help you and others in your life can be instrumental in creating a safer and more supportive environment for everyone. In honor of #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek, below is a list of amazing mental health resources I’ve pulled together in partnership with @BeVocal.SpeakUp. This week, and year-round, I encourage you to learn, explore and share. And remember: you are not alone, and help is always available.
