The month of May is dedicated to raising awareness about the factors that contribute to our mental well-being. This includes childhood trauma, genetics, and feelings of loneliness or isolation. During this time, it’s important to focus on the unique challenges that women face when it comes to mental health. According to the CDC, women are almost twice as likely as men to suffer from major depression, which highlights the need for increased awareness and support for mental health issues in women.
In a recent segment on CBS Texas, Nicole Baker spoke with Cheryl Polote Williamson, author of the book “Affirmed,” and Kim Roxie, founder of cosmetic company Lamik Beauty. The discussion likely addressed the importance of mental health awareness and the ways in which individuals can seek help and support for their mental well-being. By bringing attention to mental health issues and sharing personal stories and experiences, individuals like Cheryl Polote Williamson and Kim Roxie are helping to break down the stigma surrounding mental health. Their work serves to educate and empower others to prioritize their mental well-being and seek the help they need to live healthy, fulfilling lives.
