Imagine living in permanent lockdown—no work, no church, no hanging out with friends. That’s daily life for millions with serious mental illness, not just a pandemic flashback. Turns out, with the right support and a little empathy from the rest of us, they can (and want to!) join in on all the good stuff: jobs, dating, faith, fun. Philly’s got some cool programs making it happen, but honestly, it starts with us just being more open and welcoming. Small changes = big impact! #Health #MentalHealth #MentalHealthMatters
