Society tells us that we should be a lot
of things as women Society tells us that
we should be pretty but we can't be too
pretty because then people will think
we're superficial and they won't take us
seriously as women Society tells us that
we should be the caregivers for our
children and our families but in doing
so if we don't find the time to take
care of ourselves then we are told that
we are not being the best caregiver that
we can possibly
be as women we are told that it is
normal to express our feelings but the
minute that we overshare we are told
that there is something wrong with
us Society tells us that we should be so
many things and that we should follow
the rules that have been traditionally
set in place for us in mental health
it's no different Society tells us it is
finally okay for us to talk about our
mental health but the minute that we try
and do that we are told that we are weak
and they label
us I'm here to tell you that that is all
wrong it is okay to talk about our
mental health our mental health should
be addressed with the same level of
comfort and openness as our physical
health is because everyone has mental
health everyone in this room has mental
health but when we talk about women we
need to consider a few things women are
more likely to live with anxiety and
depression in their lifetime and are
more likely to experience violence and
Trauma now these women that are
struggling they are not weak but they
could use our support to pick them back
up there are so many women especially in
the north that are trying to be strong
for their families and their children
these women are trying to balance
careers while with heavy personal lives
these women are trying to be role models
for their children because they want
them to be able to look up to
them when I was younger I grew up with a single
single
mother my mother removed my brother and
I from a situation that she did no
longer think was healthy for us and she
did everything that she could to make
sure that we had what we needed to
succeed and grow up in a loving positive
and healthy
environment and I know that because all
her time and attention was focused on us
that she did not take care of her mental
health it pains me to know that she
didn't feel like she could open up about
her mental health because there was not
enough time for
her it pains me to know that when I was
struggling with my mental health I
didn't feel like I could open up to her
because I had seen everything that she
had given up for us and I did not want
her to feel like she failed as a mother
because she did
not it pains me more to know that we are
not the only women that did not know how
to take care of their mental health
because no one has taught us any
different I have seen so many strong
women stand up to talk about and change
how we see mental health in
society and on our own we are strong but
we are stronger together we need to talk
about mental health so that women feel
comfortable talking about it and
addressing it in today's society we need
to normalize struggle because we refuse
to struggle in silence any longer
everyone in this room is capable of
making that change that we need to see
because we need to address our mental
health so that we can be the best
Mothers the best daughters the best
spouses and the best version of
ourselves that we can possibly
be now change does not happen overnight
change requires
work but that change does not have to be
difficult that change can be as easy as
opening up the dialogue as as to what
mental health is or when you're asking
your friend how they're doing really ask
them and pay attention to what they have
to say let them know that you care about
them and that you are here for
them we need to do this so that every
woman feels comfortable talking about
that and I know that every single one of
you here today is capable of doing just
that now as simple as that sounds it's
really not because of all the stigma and
shame that is around mental health still
making that conversation can be very
difficult but by starting that
conversation we are breaking down the
stigma around mental health and we are
being the change that we need to see and
I want you all to leave here to
understand how you can start that
conversation and there are five rules
that I'm going to tell you about so you
can do just
that one say what you see address the
changes you have seen with your loved
one in a straightforward and
non-judgmental way
two show that you care when you're
addressing these changes let them know
that you care about them that can make
them feel like they are not the only one
in this and they have someone that will
stand by their
side three hear them out this is their
opportunity to share what they are going
through but only if they want to and if
they do you should listen to
them four check yourself
understand that it is not your job to
fix one fix them but you are just a
loved one that
cares understand that you are not their
therapist and you do not have to be
their therapist you are just someone who
is being there and listening to them and
the final one five connect them to help
while addressing the change that you
have seen is important connecting them
to help is even more
important now starting that conversation
can still be difficult and and there's
still a lot of barriers that we have to
break through but if you follow those
five rules you will be off to a good
start and you will be that change that
we need to see in our mental
health the one thing that I want you all
to take away from this is that it is
okay to talk about our mental health and
we are not weak for doing so we are
strong and we will be stronger for
addressing it and changing how Society
views our mental health let's lift one
another up and allow every woman to feel
comfortable talking about and taking
care of her mental
