Although so much happening in the world as it relates

to COVID-19, dancehall artiste Konshens has placed focus on persons with mental

health issues.

He has created a challenge that doesn’t involve

push-ups or pictures. For the #checkinchallenge, Konshens simply wants you to

keep in touch with persons who struggle with mental health.

“All the people with anxiety issues and mental health

issues in this time when life is on standstill, try not to lay up alone with

your thoughts… try reading, run up that internet, take up a hobby. It’s f**king

tuff to not sink into a hole right now. And if you know sum1 you care about has

these kinda issues, CHECK IN regularly. That’s my challenge. #checkinchallenge,”

Konshens said in his Instagram Story on Wednesday.

It is not surprising that Konshens created this

challenge, as his brother, Delus, took his own life in 2016. Konshens later launched

the Delus Lived foundation to help raise awareness about mental.

Konshens has also admitted that he suffered from

depression and has had suicidal thoughts.
