The Yellow September campaign, focused on suicide prevention, highlights the importance of recognizing signs of psychological distress and seeking professional help. The theme gains relevance especially in a context where mental health has been increasingly discussed in society.
Psychologist Maria Clara de Brito emphasizes that slowing down when the body asks for a break should not be considered synonymous with weakness. According to her, this perception is fundamental to breaking stigmas and encouraging people to take care of their mental health without feelings of guilt.
According to the specialist, changes in behavior can be perceived in daily life. Among the signs she points out is reduced productivity, which may indicate that something is not well with the individual.
The campaign aims to raise awareness among the population about the importance of being attentive to warning signs and offering support to those in need, promoting an environment of welcoming and understanding.
