Okay this is an amazing question. What song did you play on repeat when your world fell apart?

[Motherlode @MotherlodeGlo]

Burnout is real and it’s happening everywhere. Use brain science to get back on track. Prioritize yourself every am w/ 20-30 min walk. Start workday by doing the thing you dread most FIRST. The whole day will unfold better from there. Really.

[Motherlode @MotherlodeGlo]

in a dignified way that didn’t attempt to seek any kudos for their sensitivity, @canva let those in their market who are hurting know that they aren’t alone.

This right here? This how to destigmatize mental health.

This ad was a brand loyalty-builder for me. Win/win.

[Motherlode @MotherlodeGlo]

Perfect example of how a trauma-informed culture in business can fuse doing the right for the community with doing the right thing for your company (even if @canva didn’t know what they were doing was TI!).
It’s true. Mother’s Day can be agonizing for many. Retraumatizing. But

[Motherlode @MotherlodeGlo]

I know.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month— which means right now is the time for your esports/gaming program, company, or family to think about how you’ll bring awareness to such an important topic.

A great example of a campaign? Check out @SafeInOurWorld!

K-12 students who game casually for connection are the majority & their data must be protected not harvested. Data-tracking companies advertising collegiate recruitment pipelines must have oversight & sharp boundaries. Their market is in the minority.

[Motherlode @MotherlodeGlo]

This is why we need trauma-informed gaming spaces on campuses. Students lean into gaming as a sanctuary in crisis— so it is there that we can meet them & wrap resources around them instead of expecting them to walk through clinic doors.

[NAMI @NAMICommunicate]

"When students don’t see themselves reflected in counseling staff, they can be discouraged from seeking treatment or end treatment early if they don’t feel their therapist understands them."
