      Bold Mental Health Awareness Scholarship
      Other than providing sources for professional help, all one can do about helping someone who struggles with mental health is to be there for them, comfort them, and try not to be judgmental of their actions and feelings. People with mental health issues are likely to contemplate various bleak situations, whether or not these situations happened to them. It is oftentimes complicated to pull a person out of these thoughts, as this involves both the action from the supporter and the permission from the receiver. Unfortunately, nowadays, not enough attention is brought to mental health awareness or giving comfort to a friend. I am dedicated to helping everyone in my community regarding these issues and am willing to do more outside of my community. This dream has led me to start working on a website that will provide people with the right resources and help for their mental issues. Mental health is such a crucial part of life as it determines whether or not a person can accomplish their career goals and education. Due to poor mental health being demonized in society, these issues are being pushed aside. Professional help exists and provides diverse ways of helping those in need, but it is hard to get that professional help when a person's environment neglects those needs. The aforementioned reason is why mental health awareness needs to rise to the hierarchy of man's needs so people can help their friends and family more appropriately. Mental health, whether good or bad, is a part of human life and should not be put aside. Society needs to learn to be more caring of one another for the sake of themselves and future generations.
