Poem For World Mental Health Day

Today is World Mental Health Day.
Sometimes I write a post dedicated to particular mental health awareness days, and sometimes I just provide a round up of all the awareness events taking place throughout a particular month.
I chose the former for World Mental Health Day because I stumbled across I Believe: A poem for World Mental Health Day on YouTube this morning, and really wanted to share it.
The poem isn’t specifically geared toward mental health awareness; rather, the awareness of all that is and all that can be good, hopeful, and compassionate in the world. And isn’t that what mental health awareness days are all about? Spreading the word? Spreading awareness, good news, hope, and compassion?
Yes, I believe so.
Check out the video, and if you like it and have a YouTube account, let the kid know. And, if you have any plans for World Mental Health Day, let me know below!
