How do you communicate your needs to others?

We each have individual needs that help us to create and nurture the life we want. And within that blueprint, it’s necessary to not only identify those needs and fulfill them, but to also share them with those around us.

Communicating our needs can look like having open, honest, and direct conversations with family, loved ones, friends, and even our co-workers about how we feel, using "I" statements when we open up and express our concerns, or even taking intentional time out to check in with yourself and others.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she chooses to communicate her needs by using "I" statements and stating directly why that need is important for her and her mental health.

What about you? How do you communicate your needs?

TRUE or FALSE: I find it easy to honor my needs.

Happy Monday, Mighty family!

This week we’ll be reflecting on honoring our needs.

What does it mean to "honor your needs?" Glad you asked! From our emotional to mental to physical health, we all have different ways we navigate the world around us. And since we’re people with varying experiences, the things we need in each of those buckets may look different.

There’s no shame at all in having needs, prioritizing them, and communicating those needs to the people or environments around us.

Do you feel it’s easy for you or is it something you’re working toward improving?

➡️ P.S. It’s OK to reflect, act, and prioritize our needs for our well-being. In fact, it’s often necessary.

If you could relive an experience in your life, what would it be?

Mighties, let's reflect and share some impactful experiences we wouldn't mind reliving.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she wouldn't mind reliving when she hosted her first mental health themed open mic event. She was so proud of herself!

🚨A Quick Heads-Up About Scammers🚨

Hey Mighty fam!

We wanted to check in about something important.

Lately, we’ve seen a noticeable uptick in scammer accounts trying to sneak into our space. We’re constantly removing them behind the scenes, but some might slip through for a bit — and we want you to know what to watch for so you can stay safe.

🔍 Here are some common red flags:
💬Overly flattering messages out of nowhere especially ones that feel romantic or too personal for a stranger.

📸 Profile pics that seem too polished like stock photos, military uniforms, or glamour shots.

🌎 Big stories that feel a little dramatic or distant like “I’m a doctor overseas” or “traveling for work and looking for someone to talk to."
🚩 If they ask to move the conversation off The Mighty to WhatsApp, Google Meet, or email — that’s a red flag. These are known scammer hotspots, and it’s often a sign something’s not right.

💸 Asking for money, personal info, or help even if it’s subtle or they try to guilt you.

🔗 Weird links especially shortened URLs or anything that feels out of place.

💡A few things to keep in mind:
If something feels off, it probably is. Trust your gut.
You can block and report anytime we’d much rather check something harmless than miss something serious.
And if you’ve ever been targeted, it’s not your fault. These people are skilled manipulators and you’re not alone.

🛡️How to Report:
For posts or comments: Tap the three dots in the top right corner and select “Report.” That sends it straight to our moderation team to review.
For direct messages: Tap the shield icon in the upper right corner and choose “Alert Staff.” You’ll be able to send up to five messages that show what made you uncomfortable.

We built The Mighty to be a supportive, safe place — and with your help, we’ll keep it that way.

💙Thanks for being part of this community. Stay kind. Stay sharp. And as always, we’ve got your back

Where do you go when you need to think through or reflect about something that’s on your mind?

When it comes time to sit with yourself and think through whatever is on your mind — both the good and bad — it can be helpful to find a place that helps you center yourself and process your thoughts.

Whether it’s your bedroom, a walk (or roll!) in a nearby park, your local cafe, or a therapist’s office, where do you go when you need a moment to think and reflect?

TRUE or FALSE: Reflection helps me to process my emotions effectively.

Happy Monday, Mighties!

Let’s march forward into this week's self-care theme! We'll be focusing on ✨ reflection ✨.

Whether we’re setting aside some intentional alone time, talking to someone about our experiences, or figuring out what techniques and strategies are best for us to express how we feel, finding out the ways that are most effective in helping us to process our emotions are important.

What are your thoughts on reflection? Do you find reflection to be a positive coping strategy for you?
