Community Responses to Mental Health
Living through the COVID-19 Pandemic taught us a lot about our well-being – physically, socially, and especially mentally and emotionally. With unending days of isolation and distance, lack of routines, consistent uncertainty and fear, as well as grief and loss, the topic of conversation quickly highlighted the emotional suffering experienced by many. It emphasized that […]

Social Media and Mental Health: Friends or Foes?
I am an elder millennial. I am part of the generation that knew what life was like before social media, but also went through middle school with the AIM screenname “saraobx”—leaving away messages with moody song lyrics and “brb ttyl lylas”. The generation who had to receive an invite to join Facebook when it was […]
All Parts Make Whole Person Health

Relationships, and relational health, are instrumental in our mental well-being.

Bringing it to Life
While the month of May flew by, the idea of mental health awareness, is here to stay.
