Happy new week, as we continue with our 30 Days of Mental Health Awareness we just want to first thank all those who have been willing to share their story and have been firm with their decision. Today i dedicate this video to anyone who hasn’t been able to speak up or lives in fear of being judged or laughed at. Most of us have gone through our fair share of issues growing up so here’s a little story! What is your Mental Health Story? Share with us today on casyouth@ict.go.ke

As Umikulthum Boy says, it is okay to be hurt, it is okay to be different, it is okay to be disappointed. Lack of self confidence, struggle are things we go through from time to time. What we need to do is understand that all of it is a journey to make us who we are today. Mental health challenges aren’t something to be embarrassed about, it is part of us and talking about it helps us heal. Healing is a process and once we know that, we understand that then it helps us build back better. I am so proud of you Umikulthum Boy as a young lady for opening up and accepting that you were struggling and that you got help and guidance which helped you discover yourself! As i always say, it is okay not to be okay! Cry as much as you want and keep going ❤️ What is your mental health story? I want to hear your story, because your story matters... Reach out and lets talk! #mentalhealthke

So take charge of yourself and speak up today because your story doesn’t only help you but also helps someone else out there! What is your Mental Health Story, share with me today!

Today Angela Mulei is sharing her Mental Health Story! She talks about over expectations from Family, Society and just herself. She then gives us her perspective as a content creator on the pressures lingering around getting jobs and just exploring the whole field. What we appreciate about Angela Mulei is how authentic she is in telling her Mental Health Story and we encourage more to share their story and speak up, because on story can motivate 100more and that is how we break the stigma and stereotype around mental health. Our goal is to collect 120 stories in a period of 30days, so here’s your chance!Share your Mental Health story with me. Just email: casyouth@ict.go.ke @kenya_ni_mimi @120african_mh_stories
