July is BIPOC Mental Health Month, also known as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Month ☀️ Growing up, a lot of us weren’t encouraged to take care of our mental health. But we can undo that stigma!

Tell your friends how you’re really doing, even if that means telling them you’ve been going through it. And check in on your people too. Talk about it on the front porch, while taking a walk around the block, over text, or while making a meal together. (Just a few ideas.) 

Start this month and keep it going all year.

Before we wrap up June, it’s important to remember that it’s National PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) Awareness Month. Millions of people are living with PTSD, and experience mental health challenges in the aftermath of abuse, assault, military combat, accidents, natural disasters, and other trauma. 

But treatment really can help people recover. That can include counseling and support groups in person or online; medications; activities you can do at home; and service animals. To learn more and find help, go to the link in bio.

We — in our 2SLGBTQIA+ communities — help keep each other safe. 

Community comes in many sizes, both online and in real life. You’ll find it in big cities and small towns. As we face ongoing efforts to erase us, we know that finding our people can help protect our emotional well-being. 

For ways to uplift yourself and loved ones this month and beyond, check out our Pride guide to mental health at the link in bio.

June is Men’s Health Month — and you know that includes mental health! Check in on the guys in your life and offer them a non-judgmental ear. Ask how they’re really doing. This can go a long way in helping them open up about their challenges, hopes, struggles, and feelings.
