Self-Healing and Access to Mental Health Resources

Self-healing is a radical act of self-choosing and self-advocacy, where individuals need to lean into their own needs and get curious about them. The importance of access to quality mental health care for everyone, and not just a privileged few, is highlighted. Therapy and mental health resources can provide support and help individuals find themselves by allowing a neutral party to hold space for them. Everyone should be able to lean into their healing, not be afraid to ask for the support they need, and have access to resources that can facilitate their healing process.
