World Mental Health Day 2022
Today is World Mental Health Day and we love awareness days like this because it really gets important conversations opened up and lots of advice and stories get passed around, which we hope helps a lot of people.
The theme of this year's World Mental Health Day is ‘Make mental health and well-being for all a global priority’. This theme gets us so excited because this is exactly why we started Feel The Glow. We are so passionate about creating products that make well-being accessible for all.
Both Vicky and I have struggled with different mental health issues and one of the most important things we have learnt is that we need to have a tool box filled with healthy coping strategies and we hope that the products we have lovingly created can be part of that tool box for a lot of people.
This year we are joining in with #helloyellow created by Young Minds Uk to help show young people how they feel matters and that they are not alone with their mental health. For every You Got This t-shirt sold this month we will be donating £5 to Young Minds and the amazing work that they are doing.
We know from experience that struggling with mental health can feel very lonely and isolating, but know that you are not alone! We have put together a little list of some of our favorite things you can try today or any day to help improve your mental health, we hope you find something that works for you!
