In our push to make more resources immediately available to you, we have added a list of crises/emergency lines 💜

Mental illness is the leading cause of disability in America and costs roughly $192 per year.
Innovative treatments, better diagnostics, and better use of technology could improve the outcomes for people with mental illness.

A gentle reminder this week. It's okay to say "no" to things. Prioritize yourself and your health #4mind4body. 💚

Sometimes we say we're fine when we're not.
It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem this year, so if your friend is acting differently, ask twice.
May is #mentalhealthawarenessmonth 🌸
Did you know that nearly 60% of adults with a mental illness didn’t receive mental health treatment services in the past year? Remember, #therapyispunkrock and you shouldn’t feel scared to seek help! ✨

Don’t forget: on Mondays this month, there will be an advocate on campus from 4PM-6PM in Hawthorn 208! They are trained to provide crisis intervention, counseling, and support to survivors of sexual violence, domestic violence, & human trafficking.

There’s no shame in:
Moving at a different pace
Reaching burnout in your life
Needing time to soul search
Needing more time to process things
Asking for help
Realizing when you’re wrong
Admitting when someone else is right
Turning things around when lost
Starting over

I'm sorry if anyone ever said to you "you're sensitive", as if it was a bad thing, as if you should be ashamed of your most powerful gift.

🌟 It's not just shyness
🌟 People don't mean to be rude
🌟 There's often physical symptoms too

We had a great time in Knoxville for #DaretoSee2019! S/O to all of the artists & organizations who helped bring a message of hope & healing. #SuicidePrevention #ScruffyCityMusic #Therapyispunkrock

We must stop speaking to ourselves in self-abusive ways, and thinking it will help us 'be better'. Abuse does not cause us to flourish, does not cause us to thrive, although it may temporarily cause us to work harder out of fear. #therapy
As great as today can be for some, it can also be a rough one others. Take care of yourselves, loves 💜 #Selfcare
