#SelfHarmAwarenessMonth

On Wednesdays, we wear pink. 🎀 But especially when it falls on #PinkShirtDay — an annual event to take a stand against bullying.

Speaking out and standing up against bullying is 𝙨𝙤 𝙛𝙚𝙩𝙘𝙝. (We had to do it.) Let’s make sure everyone has a seat at the table.

“People need to know the impact of feeling 'different.' Queer kids like me are afraid to present their genuine selves. Acknowledging someone’s identity can mean life or death. Kids everywhere are afraid to share their stories, but we should be highlighting them.” Anonymous Teen

'Friends have been more open about their struggles, and I've started to be more open, too. As we normalize this conversation, I realize how many people are going through things, even similar to what I've struggled with. I want everyone to know they are not alone.' Annabelle

When you get that “I miss you” text 🥰

Don't wait to let your friends know when you're thinking about them. Reach out with one of these texts!

Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt personally victimized by…yourself. 🫠🤚

You’re not the only one. It’s normal for negative self-talk sneak attacks to happen, but there are ways to know when it’s happening and how you can flip it around!

“Some days I wake up with a heavy heart. I put on a smile, but deep down I carry the anxiety of wanting to succeed. Surrounding myself with people who care about me and have positive energy has helped me. Having someone to talk to is better than bottling everything up.” — DJ

Don’t forget to let your people know what they mean to you!!

Tag someone in the comments to remind them they mean the world to you. 🥰

'I know it’s difficult to talk about your emotions. You can start slow. I suggest writing how you feel on a piece of paper. You might notice after you’re done you’ll physically feel better. This can help you sort through the overwhelming emotions you’re experiencing.” Tessa

It's #lovemonth so let's talk about how to have compassionate conversations with one another.

One way to do this is by using the VAR Method — validate, appreciate, refer — developed by @active_minds. Learn how to put it into practice below!

“It can be hard to even tell someone you aren't doing great... As we normalize the mental health conversation, I realize how many people are going through things, even things very similar to what I've struggled with. I want everyone to realize that they are not alone.” Annabelle

Share the love — tag a friend who needs to hear this. 💌

“I had so much going on in my life & I didn’t know how to manage it. I worked my way up to speak out. I’m better than I was. Not perfect, but better. What helps me still is to keep talking to others, and manage my time to make sure I am doing what is most important to me.” Halle
