It's a holiday weekend (May the 4th / Star Wars Day; Cinco de Mayo) 🎊 -- among many notable themes + cultures celebrated in May, it's also Mental Health Awareness Month.
1 in 4 people are experiencing mental health challenges or navigating mental illness.

A gentle reminder that the realm of mental health is universal and in some way, shape or form impacts us all. ☯ (more at: www.ted.com)
