World Mental Health Day is a simple invitation: check in with yourself, and check in with someone else. However you're doing today — steady, tired, somewhere in between — it's worth noticing and worth sharing with someone you trust. You don't need the right words or a big moment. A quick "how are you, really?" can go a long way.
