We know from our recent survey that 74% of high school students report having experienced stress or anxiety as a result of COVID-19. So, we wanted to reach out to them directly to learn more. We invite you to watch this short video by students, for students. Then share their message far and wide: it is okay to not be okay.
What we say to ourselves matters the most, especially when experiencing stress or anxiety. Find a moment to recite these important messages. You deserve to let your mind be at ease. 🧘♂️
For more ideas on how to stress less this week, download our new Stress Less Week® Toolkit at activeminds.org/stresslessweek. Thank you to @just_periods for supporting Stress Less Week.

In both good times and bad, most people may feel stressed or anxious in some aspect of their lives. Being able to recognize the signs can help you know when to take care of yourself and get the support that you need.
