Mental health is key to living a healthy, balanced life. Learning how to deal with feelings of stress, anxiety and depression can be tough, but when we take care of our health and wellbeing and encourage others to do the same, we elevate and empower each other to take control and give our best.
It is for this reason that we believe self-care can be a powerful form of activism. Here are a few ways you can advocate for mental health in your everyday life.

One thing you can do to hold yourself and others accountable for setting aside time for rest, both physically and mentally, is advocating for mental health check-in breaks during school, sports practice, or work. Even a few minutes a day can make a big difference!
You can even host a self-care event like a yoga session, kick-back, a Breathwrk x truth breathing session, or any event that allows people to relax, reset, and relieve stress and anxiety.
