Boomers, Gen X, Millenials, Gen Z each generation has their own thoughts on many different topics, with mental health being one of the top. There's no denying the tides have turned on society’s attitude towards the topic, with more support and awareness on these issues than years’ past. And if you’re on social media, chances are you’ve scrolled on a post or two about it too!
