Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of our very own Dr. Erin Vasconselles. Erin was dedicated and passionate about advocating for student needs and making mental health treatment accessible to all. Her compassion, organization, and dry sense of humor will be missed. 🤍🕊

Happy April! ☔️ Here are some ideas to add to your to-do list:

💙 We'd like to wish a happy and peaceful #Ramadan to everyone who observes it.

Sometimes losing an hour of sleep can be a little jarring, but we’re looking on the bright side 🌞

Just a few reminders to carry you into the new week: You deserve kindness. You are enough as you are. You matter. 💙

Better with coffee 💙☕️

Happy #InternationalWomensDay ✨ We're celebrating all women and those who have made significant contributions in prevention, treatment and recovery towards behavioral health.

It is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, and if you’re struggling, we want to remind you that recovery is possible. Healing can happen, and you don’t have to face it alone. Here are some resources created specifically to support those seeking recovery from an eating disorder. ⬇️ ➡️ National Alliance for Eating Disorders: allianceforeatingdisorders.com ➡️ Project HEAL: projectheal.org ➡️ ANAD: anad.org This journey isn’t one-size-fits-all, and it might take time to find something that works, but your mental health is worth it. You deserve to be here. You deserve healing.

Failing does not make you a failure. You are worthy of another chance. Keep trying.
