Failure is a part of life, it is a universal experience, something that connects us all. It is often seen as something negative but it can also have a positive impact on our lives.

Many of us are afraid of failing, it has negative connotations. It is instilled in us that if we fail, we are a failure.

But fear of failure limits us because it prevents us from taking risks and moving forward with our lives.

People from the LGBTIQ+ community are more likely to experience mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, due to the stigma and discrimination faced.

People pleasing is very common, we all want to be liked!

We often think that by saying 'yes' to things we will gain approval and recognition, while this may be true it is also important to understand that it's ok to say 'no' or 'can I think about it?' Having boundaries in place can help our wellbeing.

As Men's Health Week comes to an end we want to highlight the importance of Men's Mental Health. Men are often told not to express their emotions and to toughen up, but this is harmful and it needs to be talked about more.

We all have mental health and our struggles are valid.

So, check in on your male friends, family members and colleagues this Men's Health Week and every other week!
