Mental Health Awareness Month is a chance for all Mental Health Awareness Month is a chance for all of us to get real.  I’ve had anxiety for as long as I can remember, and I’ve struggled with disordered eating and body image since before I turned 10. These things won’t ever go away, and I can honestly say now that that’s ok.  At 26, I live my life committed to being honest about how I feel so I can make peace with every part of myself. Working for Our Minds Matter not only allows me to show up as my full self, but gives me the chance to connect with and empower teens to do what I wish I had when I was their age—change the culture around mental health.  Wishing you the peace and strength to #RevealHowYouFeel this May 💙

In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and P In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we would like to center and amplify APIDA (Asian, Pacific Islander, Desi American) wellness, voices, and resources.  To our APIDA friends, we acknowledge that you may face unique challenges that make it hard for you to speak up about your needs. Remember, the consequences of saving face breeds a culture of silence in which folks may suffer quietly and hurt deeply. It doesn’t have to be this way. We want you to know that you do not need to go on the journey alone and that there are resources available! We see you, and you matter.
