Shannon Doyle, with LSS Financial Counseling, appeared on KSTP-TV's Money Minute to share how it works.

You can help reduce the stigma of mental illness. Language matters: • Labeling someone as weird or crazy others them and can lead to shame. • Calling some schizo or nuts in jest can sound like an attack. • Mental illness is a disease. Talk about it the same way you would talk about physical illness. May is Mental Health Month. Mental illness Is not a character defect it’s a disease. Let’s start talking about the prevalence of mental health in our country. Make it okay to seek support, just as you would seek help from a doctor for a physical illness, or a dentist for a tooth ache. Live your compassion through kindness and change the world one person at a time. lsscounseling.org | 888.881.8261| counseling@lssmn.org #MentalHealthMonth

What to say when you are not fine. • Today is not my day. • I’m struggling. • I’m going through some stuff. • It’s been a hard day. It’s okay to not be okay all the time. Admitting you are having a hard time can open the door to receiving support. May is mental health month. It’s okay to ask for support anytime. lsscounseling.org | 888.881.8261| counseling@lssmn.org
