young adult mental health
We know from Active Minds’ mental health 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.
Using mental health-related words as adjectives to negatively describe a situation or behavior can belittle someone’s lived experience. This #NoNameCallingWeek, reflect with us on how we can be more clear and considerate with our language when we say what we mean – swipe through for alternate phrases to try.
Mental health is just as important as physical health – and it deserves the same amount of attention. Remember to take care of your mind 💚💙
#NoNameCallingWeek is a perfect time to be reflective and think about the language choices we make everyday. The words we choose matter, and they have an impact on the people around us – of course, that doesn’t mean we’ll always choose the right words. If you make a mistake, apologize and correct yourself. Being thoughtful with our language matters more than we might realize! 💛
An emotionally healthy world is not possible without a just world – today we honor the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. and all those who have worked to fight injustice. #MLKDay
