💙🩵Junio es el Mes de la Salud Mental de los Hombres🩵💙
pero la conversación no termina aquí. La sociedad suele presionar a los hombres para que se aguanten todo en silencio, pero pedir ayuda también es de valientes. Rompamos el estigma, preguntémosles cómo están y recordémosles que no tienen que sanar solos💙

🫂En Verity ofrecemos un espacio seguro, confidencial y libre de juicios para hombres sobrevivientes de agresión sexual. No estás solo.

💙🩵June is Men’s Mental Health Month💙🩵
but the conversation doesn’t end here. Society often pressures men to carry their struggles in silence, but seeking help is a sign of true strength. Let’s break the stigma, check in on the men in our lives, and remind them that they don’t have to heal alone💙

🫂Verity is here to provide a safe, confidential space for male survivors of sexual assault. You are not alone.

💚 Happy National Best Friends Day 💚

Sometimes one of the most powerful things you can do for a friend is be there for them 🫂

If a friend confides in you about something difficult, your support can make a meaningful difference. Believing them, respecting their choices, and helping them connect with resources can help them feel seen, heard, and supported.

A reminder today and every day: you don’t have to have all the answers to be a good friend💙 Verity can always help!

💚 Día Nacional de los Mejores Amigos 💚

A veces, una de las cosas más poderosas que puedes hacer por un amigo/a es simplemente dar apoyo 🫂

Si un amigo/a confía en ti y comparte algo difícil, tu apoyo puede marcar una gran diferencia. Creerle, respetar sus decisiones y ayudarle a encontrar recursos puede ayudarle a sentirse visto, escuchado y apoyado.

Un recordatorio para hoy y todos los días: no necesitas tener todas las respuestas para ser un buen amigo/a💙 Verity siempre está ahí para apoyarte!
