Sharing Glasswing’s Community Voices for Mental Health

Published on October 24, 2024 by Glasswing

Glasswing’s “Community Voices for Mental Health” shares real experiences and practical strategies to promote self-care, mutual support, and open conversations about mental health.

Our “Real Talk” campaign focuses on breaking down the stigma around mental health and generating more authentic conversations through genuine connections between people.

What is Glasswing’s “Real Talk” campaign about?

This resource offers a collection of personal stories, emotional well-being techniques, and practical advice. Glasswing’s SanaMente team created it to provide useful tools for your everyday life.

We reached out to people from diverse Glasswing communities in Latin America who have faced different challenges related to mental health. These voices come from a range of backgrounds and ecosystems (healthcare workers, educators, youth, and community leaders). 

Mental health impacts every aspect of our lives. But often, starting conversations about it can be difficult. These stories offer a framework for reflection and action. Here, you will find inspiration and support, and you’ll discover how small actions can bring about significant changes in your emotional well-being.

By supporting others, we strengthen our own mental health, because personal well-being is intertwined with the well-being of the community.

— Ernesto, community leader

What can we learn from these stories?

• On a personal level: if you’re looking for ways to care for your mental well-being, you’ll find practical and easy-to-implement tools for your daily life.
• In your community: share these stories and strategies in your environment. Creating support networks and talking openly about mental health is key to reducing stigma and building a stronger, more empathetic community. 

Join the conversation

We invite you to read the stories, apply the tools, and join this effort to build more resilient communities.

We hope you will take advantage of the strategies and tools shared by people in our community to take care of your mental health. Together, we can create safer, healthier spaces to talk about mental health.
