⚖️ FINAL MASTER MESSAGE (FOR YOUR CHAPTER)
👉 “Mental health and safety are connected.
Mental health affects how people think, feel, and behave.
But safety must always come first.
We do not judge people.
We do not assume their story.
We understand where possible,
we support where needed,
and we act when safety requires it.
Because in every situation:
👉 Everyone’s safety matters.”
