2. “#MeToo is making people confront their trauma. And most are unequipped to do so”<\/h3>

This month has been emotionally and mentally exhausting<\/a>. People have been re-living their trauma<\/a>, holding space for some friends and family members, and confronting truths about others. And it has been draining.<\/p>

\"What<\/a><\/div>

At a time when everyone around you is struggling to stay afloat, how do you take care of each other? Of yourself? Do you have the resources, the means, the space to do so?<\/p>

In this piece<\/a>, Nadia Nooreyezdan reminds us why, in the midst of this movement we need to remember to talk about mental health. As she says, “Access to mental health education, to resources and information that help survivors know what’s happening to them, and what they can do to take care of themselves, is the first step towards healing. And we all need that right now.”<\/p>

Note:<\/strong> #IWillGoOut<\/a><\/u> has collated a support and resource list that is being circulated on the internet for anyone in need. The database includes lawyers, social workers and mental health professionals across the country.

3. Visualising the scope and severity of the movement<\/h3>

“Me Too Rising shows what it looks like when we all become a little more aware of sexual assault and violence. When enough survivors speak up, the world not only listens; it searches for answers.”<\/p>
