National Mental Health Awareness Month First - take a deep breath. It is during times of stress, whether job or simply life stress, that I find quieting my mind and reflecting on the things we have accomplished refocuses my mind and improves my outlook. Recent attacks on our community and our values of diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, (and I will add) belonging, can take a toll on us mentally as well as physically. In a Trevor Project 2024 poll, 90% of LGBTQIA+ young people said their well-being was negatively impacted due to recent politics. It can impact our well-being and mental health. Remember, you nor I have to go it alone. Our community is UNSTOPPABLE! We will persevere. We will create space to reflect, recharge, express grief, celebrate victories, and we will do that through community. Through the power of community, we find strength, joy, celebration, and the fierceness to move forward. | Login to access member resources. |
