Our individual, national and global mental health has taken a battering from this pandemic. Arguably every week is Mental Health Awareness Week now because we cannot fail to be involved in the profound and personal impact of lockdown. We must take care, every day, to really look after our mental health and get to know ourselves as best we can, for everybody’s sake.
There are no easy answers and no quick fixes to where we are. It’s definitely a challenge. I was talking to David Duke from Street Soccer Scotland with some of you this week and he said to me, “I do my best work in chaos. I get a lot of my happiness from problem solving”. Of course. He’s right. Me too. Helping someone out, helping fix the unfixable, these are the things we humans are made to do. So, we will rise to the challenge and as these stories from around the world show, others are already lighting the way.
Have a good weekend.
