Publishers Note
Today Mental illness has become more widespread than ever before ,yet many are still
so afraid to seek help even though we now have so much knowledge and so many
alternate treatments available to us .
Unfortunately the stigma and shame of years ago are still very prevalent .Although
people are starting to ask for help and share their stories there are still many who hide
their struggles and are ashamed .
In order to change this we need people to speak openly about mental illness, allowing
others to realize that they are not alone –that there are many to help them around .
Through sharing , we normalize the topic of mental illness ,we reduce their discomfort
,remove their fear and shame that prevents so many from seeking help .
So this Year BE has taken new initiative with its Annual WOW Women's Awards 2017 where
the women share their stories ,their challenges and their hurdles in their life journey and
have become what they are today A STRONG EMPOWERED WOMAN .
I am driven by passion and purpose to promote social change, diversity and women
empowerment in their personal and professional endeavors .And this season I focus on
MENTAL ILLNESS.
I sincerely request to all of you my readers out there to be talking more openly about
mental illness with your family friends ,neighbors –to speak out and share your stories so
that we all can collectively make the difference to our society .
On a much larger scale ,you may also publicly share your story with BE MAGAZINE .
You may also wish to consider having a COUNSELLING CUBICAL in our ISHMA WELLNESS
CENTER for Empathic listening or giving awareness talk at our center .
Lets break this silence by speaking out and sharing .
BE has taken its rst step towards this change …
ITS YOUR TURN NOW .
Lets talk more Lets hear more .
Until we meet next month again wish you all good health and happiness .
