It is a health campaign, just like Pink October and Blue November, but during White January, the goal is to draw people’s attention to issues related to their mental and emotional health.
January was chosen because of the cultural significance it carries, as it is common to make a list of resolutions and goals for the new year. Including mental health care among these goals can be extremely effective. Taking care of yourself is important at any time of the year, but people tend to be more introspective during the first month of the year.
To feel well every day, it is essential to understand yourself. White January offers a new opportunity to start the year by taking care of your mental health with kindness and attention.
