Today is Self Harm Awareness Day. Self harm is a serious mental health issue, and people who currently or used to self harm deserve all of our love and support. It’s okay to talk about self harm, you shouldn’t feel ashamed for sharing your story. #SelfHarmAwarenessDay

Mental illness doesn’t take a break during the holidays. People’s diagnosis doesn’t go away just because it’s supposed to be a happy time of the year. No one should feel guilty for struggling during the holidays. They need love and support, not shame and negativity.

It’s been a rainy week on campus, but we’ll have more sun this week!We hope that you get to spend Thanksgiving with your family and nurture your mental health during the holiday! If you are away from home, there are other ways to focus on self-care too. https://t.co/cnUp1YlBKz

This is a really good step towards normalizing mental health issues in sports. Physical health without mental health can be very damaging for everyone. Let’s keep increasing awareness and addressing well-being needs. #endthestigma #mentalhealth

A persistent myth about #depression is that people who have everything together shouldn't be depressed or anxious. The truth is that #mentalillness doesn't discriminate. It can happen to anyone. https://t.co/q9YAX8mBng via @bustle

James Norwood Pratt, a UNC alumnus, an American author, and a tea sage gave a wonderful lecture on “The Energy and Cult of Tea” today on campus. He suggests that drinking tea can help you reach a peaceful state of mind, and improve your well-being.
