As May marks the start of Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s important to focus on the factors that contribute to our mental well-being, such as childhood trauma, genetics and feelings of loneliness or isolation. The CDC reports that women are almost twice as likely as men to suffer from major depression, highlighting the need for increased awareness and support for mental health issues in women.
In a recent segment on CBS Texas, Nicole Baker spoke with Cheryl Polote Williamson, author of the book “Affirmed,” and Kim Roxie, founder of cosmetic company Lamik Beauty. The discussion likely addressed the importance of mental health awareness and the ways in which individuals can seek help and support for their mental well-being.
Through their work, individuals like Cheryl Polote Williamson and Kim Roxie are helping to break down the stigma surrounding mental health. By sharing personal stories and experiences, they are educating and empowering others to prioritize their mental well-being and seek the help they need to live healthy, fulfilling lives.
