We have the best news…we were selected in the inaugural cohort of @btwfoundation Kindness in Community Fund recipients. We feel immensely grateful for Born This Way Foundation’s commitment to and belief in our work of empowering students to change school culture around mental health. This is especially exciting because this year, we are asking all OMM student leaders to earn their #BeThereCertificate We were granted $50,000–which means that we’ll be able to reach even MORE students with our proven student-centered approach to mental wellness. Thank you, @btwfoundation for your incredible support!

Multiracial identities are complex and rich identi

Multiracial identities are complex and rich identities that are comprised of at least two different races. Folks who identify as multiracial tend to have a perspective on multiple heritages, which can lead to a greater empathy and appreciation of other cultures. Multiracial people also have the highest estimates of getting mental health care of all BIPOC groups. Learn more about multiracial mental health by checking out the Multiracial Toolkit in our bio! #BIPOCMentalHealthMonth #multiracialmentalhealth

Latinx/Hispanic communities represent a vast and c

Latinx/Hispanic communities represent a vast and culturally diverse group of people. While approaches to mental health may differ, a few similarities include valuing multigenerational communities and strong family bonds, which can serve as protective factors for some. Religion as a way of healing together may also play a role for many Latinx/Hispanic folks. Prayer circles and other community based practices which involve dance, music, and food may help them feel more connected to each other. Latinxtherapy.com is a website which offers online therapy and a database of Latinx speakers. It has access to the only nationwide directory for Latinx therapists in private practice, providing Latinx folks with an accessible option for seeking out therapists who can fully understand their culture and its impact on their mental health.
