Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. Thoughts, feelings, and overall well-being can be affected when people ignore self-care or don’t seek support. Fortunately, conversations about mental health are becoming more common to emphasize the message that mental health matters.
The Mental Health Matters poster serves as a bold reminder that our emotional well-being deserves care and attention. Featuring a unique meditating brain emoji design, the poster encourages discussions about mental health and self-care. Available in seven colors, this poster can also be a valuable tool for raising awareness, especially during Mental Health Awareness Month in May.
Having this on display in schools, counseling offices, or community spaces can help kids and teens recognize that their feelings matter. They can take small steps to care for their mental health, such as listening to calming music, journaling, or doing other relaxing activities.
Caring adults can help by normalizing conversations on mental health. Wellness check-ins, open discussions, and fun mindfulness exercises can also help children feel like mental health is a priority.
This poster pairs nicely with our Mental Health Is Just As Important As Physical Health poster, and can be further emphasized with our free mental health checklist.
