Light It Up Purple

October 10 is a very important day especially for those who struggle with mental health, anxiety, and depression.

They suffer behind a smile or a positive face, and will truly benefit from a kind word or act. Let's show compassion and understanding; and let them know that they are not alone. We all have to take care of each other, and keep in mind that our mental health is just as important as our physical health.

At times, our state of mind can be more powerful and influential in a very negative way and this is why some young ones most especially, lose hope and give up. Let's not lose another young life to an issue which we can help with, and be a part of.

In support of Light Up Purple on Oct 10 - World Mental Health Day and the Amanda Todd Legacy - Staying Strong, Everiathing is once again airing a special episode.

If you want to be a part of the show, we'd love to include your photo or short 10-second clip of any of the following:

1. Photo of you, in purple, holding a piece of paper with your message. 2. Your message via video (please wear purple), max 10 seconds.

***Message ideas: Why you support LUP; what mental health means to you; why LUP is important; what inspires you to keep going, etc.

Please email your photos or videos to everiathing@gmail.com on or before September 15th, 11:59 PM. Thank you for sharing your voice so that others don't have to suffer in silence or give up.
