Self-injury or self-harm can be a way some people cope with overwhelming emotions like pain, frustration, or distress. However, it can also be harmful and even life-threatening.
On Self-Injury Awareness Day (March 1), let`s open up the conversation about self-harm and remove the stigma around it. When people who are struggling see others talking openly about it, they may feel safer reaching out for help.
If you`re wondering whether it`s time to seek support for yourself or someone else, learn more about what to consider at the link in bio.

We`re more than halfway through Black History Month, but our mission to heal our mental health continues every day — 24/7/365.
This includes talking about ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences). ACEs are potentially stressful or traumatic events that can happen to us before we turn 18. They can lead to what’s known as toxic stress, which can impact physical and mental health, and relationships.
If you think you might have experienced ACEs, you can learn about your ACEs score, how to heal, and how to help the next generation. Download it at the link in bio.
