As someone who struggles with depression and anxiety, this is something I shy away from in the workplace but I’m trying to be better about taking the time to care for my mental health.
.

There’s still a lot of stigma surrounding mental health in our society, but always remember that your health comes first. The same way we’ve normalized taking a sick day to see a doctor for other ailments, it should be normal to take a day off to care for your mental health.

#letstalkaboutit do you take mental health days? If no, why not?

Mental health disorders are not an “adult thing” and kids don’t “outgrow” them either. Early intervention in mental health is key.

Four months ago, I read "Hood Feminism" by Mikki Kendall and I was inspired by the concept of improving overall health by supporting the basic needs of marginalized communities.

In the same spirit, at HappyCore, we believe that mental health can only be achieved when we support our community's basic needs.

With our first community initiative coming to a close, we are so proud of what we have achieved. We hope that our backpacks help remove some of the stress associated with this back-to-school season.

Next stop... Abbottston Elementary School!

#letsdiscuss Did you know that kids can suffer from depression too? Sometimes we think of depression as an “adult problem” when in reality kids experience it too - they just show it in different ways.

This week we’ll talk about how the mental health challenges among black youth and how you can help us bring awareness to this issue in our community.

A 2016 study by Cornell University found that children raised in poverty were more likely than their affluent peers to experience psychological distress as children and as adults.

For this reason, we believe in taking a holistic approach to mental health by supporting the basic needs of families in our communities. 💫

Whew! Y’all know we love to reflect over here, so think about this one.
.
.
What are you tolerating at the expense of your mental health? Is it time to let go of whatever it is? How can you be better about avoiding things or making decisions that negatively impact your mental health?
.
.
Strive everyday to be intentional about taking care of yourself not only physically but mentally as well 💛

According to the @trevorproject, 44% of Black LGBTQ youth seriously considered suicide in the last year.

The truth is, member of the LGBTQ community are members of our community. They are our brothers, sisters, friends, mothers, fathers, and more.

As a community that believes in the advocacy of mental health for everyone, we need to be present for all members.

We need to show up, check our biases, affirm, and honor their humanity.

Happy Pride!

Happy Friday HappyCore fam!
Before you kick off your weekend, let’s do a bit of reflecting.
.
.
How are you contributing to destigmatizing mental health? What role can you play in normalizing mental health conversations? How can you encourage those around you to #talkaboutit?
