Project Semicolon
There are lots of different ways to start talking about mental health, advocating for yourself and supporting others. Something that's gaining a lot of popularity right now is the Semicolon tattoo movement - which I love! A lot of individuals are using these tattoos as a conversation starter about mental health, and a reminder to themselves that their story isn't finished yet. This project was originally started by Amy Bleuel of Green Bay, Wisconsin, who founded "Project Semicolon" in 2013 after losing her Father to suicide and dealing with her own mental illness. There are so many ways we can spread awareness of mental illness, and even more so, to let people know they aren't alone. We're all in this together!
