Local Opinion: Let’s Talk: Vulnerable conversations with those you trust can improve your mental health

You might ask what a collegiate softball player knows about mental health, and I’d argue a lot.

Throughout my mental health journey, I have learned incredible things about myself. I no longer fear asking for help, I have become more confident, and have embraced the ability to be vulnerable with those around me. I credit a lot of this to my generation, and have been thankful for the openness and willingness of my peers to discuss mental health and finding help for each other.

This conversation isn’t just for college students. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, which is an excellent excuse for everyone to check in with ourselves about our vulnerability with others, and to take the next step of having vulnerable conversations with those we trust to help improve health and connection.

I encourage you to take that first step when you are ready. Whether it is asking a family member, a friend or even an outside source for help, there are people ready to be there for you.
