Hi @neomedopcsmh 👋! NAMI Southwest Ohio here, excited to join you!

Today! #campuspowerhour #opcsmh

Today's #SelfcareTipTuesday is to de-clutter something that has been piling up. Clean out your desk drawer, take care of that stack of papers on the kitchen counter, or clean out with the garage. De-cluttering your life can help with your mental health.

As #MinorityMentalHealth Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to share an article about the stigma of mental illness in the black community. Take a look at the author's experience with stigma. #MentalHealthMonday

Today's #WellnesWednesday tip is to remember to get enough sleep. When we are too tired from lack of sleep, it can impact other areas of our lives. Sleep is important for our overall wellbeing and health.

Did you know today is #InternationalSelfCareDay? It is always a good idea to take care of yourself. Our #SelfcareTipTuesday advice is to do whatever you usually do to take care of yourself today. You can't pour from an empty cup.

Here's some advice from psychologists and mental health providers who primarily treat patients of color. #MinorityMentalHealth @HuffPost huffingtonpost.com/entry/how-to-t…

Deep breaths. Remember all of the progress you’ve made so far. Keep going, keep working on you.

Happy #MentalHealthMonday! Have you ever felt the need to disclose your mental health struggles with someone close to you, but didn't know where to start? Read here for tips about how to tell people about your #mentalillness.

Remember that your negative thoughts are not true. They're just thoughts. 💚 #MondayMotivation #mentalhealth | 🎨: @ChibirdArt
