?? As a well-being leader, I'm inspired by how Simone Biles and other Olympians at their physical peak are championing mental health awareness. Their courage to speak openly about their struggles demonstrates that mental well-being is just as important as physical strength. In a world that often prioritizes peak performance, it's a powerful reminder that true success encompasses both mind and body. By sharing their journeys, these athletes are breaking down barriers and encouraging us all to prioritize mental health in our own lives and workplaces. Let’s take this as a call to action: Support each other’s mental well-being and foster an environment where conversations about mental health are welcomed. ???? #MentalHealthMatters #WellBeing #BreakTheStigma

Strong sibling relationships can contribute significantly to lifelong mental well-being, with research showing they help reduce loneliness and build resilience. ???????? Nicole Runyon, a psychotherapist, explains that parents play a key role in fostering these connections by avoiding labels like "the smart one" or "the athletic one" and encouraging acts of service among siblings. By establishing a family culture that values connection, parents help ensure that siblings view each other as lifelong support systems. ??

June is Men's Health Awareness Month! This month, we're shining a light on the importance of mental health, especially for Black men. Black men face unique challenges when it comes to mental wellness, from stigma and lack of culturally competent care to systemic barriers. It's time to break the silence, support one another, and promote healing within our community. In communities like Oakland, Black men face unique challenges that can contribute to higher rates of mental health issues. By raising awareness, providing support, and fostering open discussions, we can work towards breaking down the barriers that prevent Black men from seeking help and accessing the resources they need to thrive. Join us in raising awareness and making a difference. Read our latest blog post on Black men's mental health to learn more about these challenges and how we can overcome them together. Share this post and spread the word! Your mental health matters. Let's ensure Black men receive the support they deserve. ??

Growing up, I wish I knew I wasn't alone in my experiences. I wish I knew that having a disability didn't mean that I had to accept discrimination. I wish I knew it was okay to just be me. Representation isn't just who shows up in the media ?? At it's core, it's about community ?? Accessible, diverse and inclusive representation matters in all settings, like schools, workplaces, healthcare, and beyond... It's not just about seeing people who look like you, but also: ? People who understand and advocate for our rights and needs ? People reminding us know safe supportive spaces can exist ? People inspiring hope that we can succeed despite barriers we may face ? People making you feel like you're not alone When we talk about invisible disabilities like mental health, it's not something that's instantly recognizable. So how is mental health represented, when often so much is unspoken? Mental health is personal. Health is personal. But stigma is systemic. So it takes open conversations, and sharing lived and living experiences to create change for communities. I hope one day, everyone can feel supported with their unique and individual experiences in their communities. I am so grateful to be a youth representative for the CAMH When Hope Breaks Through Post-Screening Panel Q&A alongside other amazing mental health advocates and supporters, Mike Shoreman, Eric Windeler from Jack.org, Angie Seth, and Dr. Allison Crawford and Ariana Prom If you are in Toronto ???? , please do come by and support!

It is always a good week for great discussion when we stop by 1310 KFKA's Good Morning NoCo! Tune in to hear Kate Brockman, Clinical Program Director for Early Childhood Mental Health, continue the conversation on social-emotional development in the early years of life, the importance of relationships, and how parents/caregivers can help create opportunities for connection and growth through simple interactions with kids, like play. "Whether you are a parent or you are just in your community and have relationships with families, young children -- we have such an opportunity for such a strong impact." Listen here: bit.ly/NRBHkb2
