No one is above the anxieties brought about by the current pandemic. Some days, we feel a semblance of normalcy on how things used to be before the pandemic. Other days, we feel stuck at home, helpless with the things happening around us. COVID-19 has definitely taken a toll on our mental health, but there are ways to rise above these feelings of uncertainty.
So, how do we keep ourselves mentally healthy during these trying times?
On World Mental Health Day, KonsultaMD—a subscription-based telehealth service—has organized a free e-concert dubbed as #BeKindToYourMind, a mental health concert in the Philippines that aims to tackle the importance of taking better care and attention to our mental health.
KonsultaMD believes that music can bring people together. Through #BeKindToYourMind, the awareness concert aims to destigmatize mental health issues and let the audience know that KonsultaMD is there for them. This is why the concert takes on the theme: Take active control of your mental health. Join a community, get moving, talk to someone. We all need help at times. There is no shame in reaching out.
#BeKindToYourMind culminates in the month-long Mental Health campaign of KonsultaMD. Combining both music and conversations, the telehealth service wants to remind everyone that it’s okay to not be okay—especially in these times. It may be a struggle to keep it together, and that’s okay. Mental health is essential, and asking for help is not a sign of weakness.
Here are some of the performers to look forward to on #BeKindToYourMind concert on October 9, 2021, exclusively at KonsultaMD’s Facebook page and how they can remind you that your mental health matters.
