When awareness grows up into action 👏

Fam!

Tomorrow, May 16, 2024, is Mental Health ACTION Day. That’s right, mental health awareness is growing up before our very eyes and evolving into action - sah cute. 

Every year, our friends at MTV spearhead Mental Health Action Day to shift mental health culture from awareness to action.

This movement is powered by a growing coalition of more than 2,000 nonprofits, brands (including Here*!), government agencies, and influential leaders from more than 32 countries that spread the message that, just like our physical health, we can take actions to improve our mental health.

Here are some actions to take today:

• Advocate for your mental health

• Start a peer group at work (Or join the waiting list for our modern peer groups launching later this year!)

• Bring mental health training to your community or org (Not sure how to convince your boss? Check out our post on the ROI of mental health training)

Things we’re loving 🫶

📚 Amanda Montell’s latest book The Age of Magical Overthinking, which explores a variety of common cognitive biases and the belief that “one’s internal thoughts can affect unrelated events in the external world”. Bonus love for The Whispering Shelf who is currently selling the book and hosting their first book club on this phenomenal read. 

😴 Grown folk swaddles because babies shouldn’t be the only ones enjoying a snug night’s rest.

🧢 Our ‘This is my Therapy Hat’ hat which is quickly becoming a best seller from our merch line. Check it out in two fashionable ‘goes with anything’ colors.
