Wording issues.
This doesn’t have to be a ‘full-blown’ mental illness, but any thing that has weighed on them emotionally.
@Moushira suggested yesterday in our community call that engaging people to share their issues shouldn’t be put under headers of “mental health” but under something more like “emotional health”. Similarly, @Thom_Stewart is setting up an initiative for any person in distress - clinical or not; mental per se of not. I think this kind of inclusiveness can contribute to lowering the threshold as mentioned above.
Guys, next Monday we are hosting an online conversation about emotional care, feel free to join in at 4:30 PM.
PS Pauline I loved emotionalbaggagecheck.com, what a sweet project! thanks for sharing it.
