Today (May 8) is National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day 🧸 A lot of kids are dealing with trauma, ADHD, depression, and more, and they need our support. 

Do you know a young person for whom you can be a caring, supportive presence? Sometimes, just really listening to them can make a big difference. 

You could also create a simplified version of our Mental Health Spectrum to help them point out their current feelings. Then use it as a guide to seeking more support for them if needed. Explore it at the link in bio.

Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month is here! All May, we're celebrating the diverse cultures, stories, and contributions of our AAPI communities across California. We’re reflecting on challenges we face too — especially when it comes to our mental well-being.

Our new resource talks about how we can push back against these barriers, including the model minority myth, and how we can be there for each other.

May is Mental Health Month 💚 We’re using this time to talk openly about our mental health struggles, progress, setbacks, surprises, and support. 

Your entire range of emotions is valid. Talk to your people about how they’re *really* doing, how you’re *really* doing, and get support when you need it. 

What are you going to do differently this month?
