May is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

Although we speak about Mental Health every single day at RCS, and we encourage others to do the same, this month is important for us to raise awareness and speak up.

1 in 5 people have suicidal thoughts

1 in 14 people self-harm

1 in 15 people attempt suicide.

1 in 5 young people (age 13-18) has or will develop a mental illness in their lifetime.

Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide.

Common signs of mental health issues include: extreme mood swings, changes in eating habits, excessive worrying or fear, problems concentrating, and avoiding friends or social activities.

Sending love to anyone who struggles every single day, not just throughout one month. We see you always!
