Tomorrow is the day when fate will change. Yes, it’s Election Day in the United States. There must be many of you whose vision your resonates with Kamala Harris or loyal supporters of Trump. Then there will be many who are still figuring out where to land.
However you see things politically, this is the right moment to stand together and make a decision that will make a difference in the society. At Turning Point Interventions, we believe elections affect our lives not just in politics or economy, but it impact our mental health and wellbeing. It has lasting effects on our emotional resilience down the road.
Voting as a Real-Life Way to Make Things Better
On the surface, voting is all about checking a few boxes. But if we look on a deeper level, it’s much more than that. The leaders we elect shape our future and communities. They get to choose how much support should be offered to individuals with mental health issues, which resources need to be provided, and most importantly how prompt these services should be provided. These decisions reverberate throughout and massively impact our daily lives.
At TPI, we work with people every day who benefit when mental health resources are accessible and affordable. It’s a huge difference-maker when there are leaders out there who genuinely care about funding therapy programs, providing resources for crisis intervention, and supporting community education on mental health.
Voting for these leaders can set off a ripple effect—one that builds a community where everyone can feel supported, no matter their background or circumstances.
Voting Feels Good—For You and for All of Us
Voting is incredibly rewarding in a way that’s hard to explain. It may appear to be just a small act, but it links us to a larger narrative. Casting a vote isn’t just participating in an event. It’s much more. It’s our influence on our surroundings which also impacts our emotional wellbeing. Every time we cast our vote, it’s as if we are making a statement that we matter and we care about the future.
Moreover, voting brings us together as a community. No matter if our opinions or preferred candidates are different, This whole process reminds us that together, we form a big community that can bring significant change. Talking about the issues, swapping stories, sharing hopes for the future—these things help us connect, and the connection is huge for mental health. At TPI, we see all the time how feeling isolated affects people. Voting, though, can do the opposite. It shows us that we’re part of a bigger conversation, one where every voice actually matters.
Building a Future That Puts People First
We may be a divided country, but everyone can agree on this: we all deserve a chance to be happy, healthy, and supported. And voting gives us the power to shape a society that puts mental health first. We can create a future where resources and help are there for everyone, and where each person feels valued. That’s something worth showing up for.
So, as you head out to vote, remember this is about more than just political teams. It’s about choosing a future where we all have each other’s backs. It’s about the kind of community we want to build—not just for ourselves but for the people we care about, too. Every vote brings us a little closer to a place where we’re all looked after, heard, and supported.
Let’s make it count.
