#CheckInWithMe: Give and get support here.

We’ll be tuning up our mental health for this week’s challenge, Mighties! 📈🌱

Whether that looks like setting aside time to implement a new habit, focusing on specific symptom management, reflecting on your needs, or prioritizing boundaries, everyone’s tune-ups may look different.

To get started, let’s reflect on where we are right now. What’s been helping your mental health lately? What’s hurt it?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks has been dealing with headaches for the past few weeks. It’s been disorienting, so she’s exploring different ways to find some relief.

When we interact or build relationships with others, we may not always know the impact or influence we have on them, but this doesn’t mean we're not having any impact at all! From our personalities, encouraging words and actions, and even our skills and talents, we impact people in different ways.

What impact do you wish to have on others?

Hi Mighties! 🦋

I was wondering what you all thought about what's been working for your mental health and why. Out of these options—support groups, a mental health class, one-on-one therapy, or something entirely different—which has been most helpful to you? This applies whether you are living with a mental health condition or challenges yourself or are a family member or friend of someone who is.

For me, one-on-one therapy has really been helpful, but I've been thinking about exploring other options since I can now see my therapist only once a month.

What are your thoughts? 💬
