Let's Honor Mental Health Awareness Month!
We are so grateful to take the time to celebrate and honor Mental Health Awareness Month. Both Laura and I have navigated our own mental health challenges in our clinical roles and feel deeply about the necessity of de-stigmatizing mental health in healthcare. This week, we are excited to share the work of incredible folks and organizations who are working to increase access to mental health resources and build supportive networks of healthcare workers.
We also want to share the list of mental health resources on our website that was curated by our dear friend and therapist Erin Carnahan. This can be a great starting place for those looking to access mental health support!
If there are any other organizations you'd like for us to highlight, please let us know. We are grateful to be in community with so many wonderful kindred spirits.
What resources have you found to be helpful in supporting your mental health and well being? We would love to hear from you!
With gratitude,
Anu & Laura
