<p>Roommates, today is #WorldMentalHealthDay and in an effort to continue to erase the stigma of <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/florida-public-schools-now-required-to-offer-mental-health-instruction-to-students-in-grades-6-12/">mental health</a>, especially within the black community, we want to not only acknowledge the day, but also shed light on some very famous faces who also suffer&#8230;to show those of you who may be struggling that you’re definitely not alone.</p>
<p>Always remember that struggling with mental health is nothing be ashamed of—and if you feel like you need support, don’t hesitate to reach out to friends, family or a professional. If you need help feel free to visit <a href="http://MentalHealthLine.org">MentalHealthLine.org</a>. #MentalHealthAwarenessDay</p>
