The power of mental health seen in culture...

Because of it's vulnerable, unseen nature, mental health will always have a certain stigma attached to it. Sometimes, it helps to see this vulnerability portrayed in our culture, to push us in the right direction and open us up to healing and a deeper sense of humanness and empathy.
