It can be easy to get caught up in comparing yours

It can be easy to get caught up in comparing yourself to others, especially when it comes to your body. What if instead of trying to confine ourselves to fit an imaginary and ever shifting ideal, we celebrated (and decorated) what makes us unique? This is what @wolverinemindsmatter & the Beautiful Me club of West Potomac High School in Alexandria, VA sought to do when collaborating for an event on November 17th, 2022. check out the full story on our website under “club features”, which is under our club portal tab 💗

The “most wonderful time of the year” isn’t

The “most wonderful time of the year” isn’t always so wonderful for everyone. While love, warmth, joy, and peace are commonly associated with the holiday season, we want to name and make space for other feelings that are less often talked about: sadness, isolation, loneliness, loss & grief. Whatever you are feeling during the holidays - it is all valid and OK. This December, OMM brings to you the Winter Blues Spotlight Series to shine a light on the not-so-merry parts of the winter season. Keep an eye out for our weekly features on some common mental health struggles during this time of the year and tips to cope!

Thank you to our amazing community of mental healt

Thank you to our amazing community of mental health supporters who pushed us over the top and helped us surpass our #GivingTuesday goal yesterday!!⁠
⁠
We raised over $13,000 yesterday -- exceeding our goal of $10,000 -- which includes a $2,000 Power Hour prize for the most unique donors. A huge thanks to @catalogueforphilanthropy and The Regular for this additional donation!⁠
⁠
We made our goal $10,000 in celebration of our 10-year anniversary -- and because we're looking ahead to the next 10 years of uplifting teen mental health. We aim to raise $200,000 by the end of the year so that we can expand our program into 500 schools by 2025.⁠
⁠
If you didn't have a chance to contribute yesterday, there's still time to donate to OMM. Link in bio. Thank you for your support. 💞

Heads up!! If you give to OMM from 7pm-8pm today,

Heads up!! If you give to OMM from 7pm-8pm today, we could win an additional $2,000 from @catalogueforphilanthropy + the Regular app. 🤩 ⁠
⁠
A donation of just $10 during this #GivingTuesday Power Hour could help us win this additional $2,000 – which covers club materials for 10 clubs, or the cost of training 20 student leaders, or snacks for 200 club meetings! 💗 ⁠
⁠
Thank you for helping us win this $2,000 between 7-8pm today! Link in bio to donate.

“What you say matters.” Two weeks ago, OMM stu

“What you say matters.” Two weeks ago, OMM student leaders at Edison High School (@ehsomm) organized a school-wide wellness week–which included creating this wall full of positive messages written on Post-It notes. The wall is now displayed prominently so that all students who pass it know that they matter.⁠
⁠
In the spring, an OMM student shared this with us about how their club has transformed the culture of mental health at their school: “Because of OMM, I feel mental health has become a priority to discuss with students and staff at my school. My school now focuses specifically on the mental health of students.”⁠
⁠
10 years ago we were helping to make this change in 5 schools in Fairfax, VA. Today, we partner with 3 of the largest school districts in the DMV (DCPS, FCPS, MCPS) and we support 110 schools in this region. We also support 30 additional OMM clubs throughout the U.S. By 2025, we’ll be in 500 schools–helping each one to focus on the mental health of students. ⁠
⁠
We’ve got a network of incredible student leaders and club members, a hardworking staff, a dedicated board, and awesome partners to make this a reality. ⁠
⁠
But the investment of our supporters makes a HUGE difference in the work that we do to empower teens to change school culture around mental health. ⁠

For #GivingTuesday, please consider giving for teen mental health. Link in bio to donate!⁠

We're grateful to join other nonprofits today for #GivingTuesday, a day of generosity and community building. Visit the link in our bio to donate and help us raise $10,000 on this single day!⁠
⁠
$10,000 celebrates OMM's 10 years of uplifting teen mental health -- and sets us up for the next 10 years of empowering student leaders to transform school culture around mental health.⁠
⁠
$10 helps us provide snacks for clubs—and we know that offering food brings more students to club meetings.⁠
⁠
$26 covers the cost of materials for one school-wide mental health campaign.⁠
⁠
$110 provides training to one new student leader.⁠
⁠
We know there are many worthy causes to support on Giving Tuesday, and we’re grateful for however you can support OMM today. Link in bio. 💗⁠
