This week is @mentalhealthfoundation Mental Health This week is @mentalhealthfoundation Mental Health Awareness Week 

The theme for this year is COMMUNITY and echoes exactly why we started our own community here at WildX. To support those around us through photography and getting out in the wild! 

Over the next few days take note of this and if you’re at work or with friends and family maybe try and bring this up in conversation. We have noticed that once a conversation is flowing, people that might not normally bring up their issues and their experiences with mental health also start to open up too. It’s all about normalising the conversation and the more we do this the more people will feel ok in opening up and letting people know that they are not ok. 

It’s ok not to be ok 💚
