As the industry progresses, culturally responsive care should continue to be a critical element of every mental health provider’s practical strategy to allow every individual–regardless of race–to thrive.

Unchecked mental health issues hurt everyone. They damage relationships. They destroy bonds. Mental health isn't just about helping those who need it - it's about making sure kids have a relationship with their parents; or marriages stay intact, or families are safe places.

Ok fellow content and social media managers - I need to talk to someone about the CDC's instagram strategy.

Me: knows one of the main characters will die at the end of this book, because it's a historical fiction retelling of the story of Jesus Christ
Also me: cries because one of the main characters just died

Everyone go see @intheheights

Shout out to @SilverNugg for giving me her 16 YEARS WORTH of saved quarters, without so much as a second thought, so I could do my laundry. Real sisterhood is keeping each other BO-free.

@deenashakir I think my problem is I just feel so genuinely guilty for setting boundaries when it comes to work. Definitely something to work on!

[Mariam Y. Helmy @MariamYHelmy]

I just finished #chanelmiller's autobiography and I have never read such a sustained, poetic narrative. Thank you to the author for using her story to beautifully–and heartwrenchingly–pull her readers along a harrowing journey through the justice system. #knowmyname

Fully vaccinated folks - how is your rock doing?

[Mariam Y. Helmy @MariamYHelmy]

Adapting to pandemic stress for me hasn't meant the stress has disappeared - it's just felt like a rock in a rose bush. All my limbs and flowers have grown around the rock, but at the end of the day, there's still a big ass rock.

[Mariam Y. Helmy @MariamYHelmy]

I thought getting vaccinated would evaporate the big ass rock. But it's still there - maybe a little less heavy, maybe worn down by my branches, but nonetheless still there.

Cue to start erasing memories of the last year?

[Mariam Y. Helmy @MariamYHelmy]

This feels strangely apt today and I'm not even doing laundry

[Mariam Y. Helmy @MariamYHelmy]

I feel like we’re all just waiting for the day our underwear runs out and we have to start the laundry cycle all over again. And you can buy as many pairs as you want but after a certain period of time you’ll just have to start over. And that, my friends, is life.

@deenashakir Zoomers!

Just when you thought delayed release was for vitamins only, turns out that it's a thing for grief too!

Hey hey heyyy

In honor of #internationalwomensday , I am so excited to be on the team producing this Lyra series on women's mental health. Before the pandemic, being a woman in the workplace was difficult - now being a woman in the workplace is the worst it has been in decades.

[Lyra @LyraHealth]

In honor of #internationalwomensday, we're taking a hard look at the current state of women's mental health, and what employers can do to help. Check it out below:
