Happy World Mental Health Day! 💛 This year’s theme, “Lived experiences, real voices, real change,” reminds us that real impact starts when we honor our authentic stories.

Here are 3 simple ways to check in with yourself and others today:

1. Ask with intent: Reach out to a friend with a genuine “Hi, how are you?” and give them space to share their real story without judgment.
2. Send a gratitude drop: Tell someone how their presence or support made a real difference in your life.
3. Journal your “right now”: Spend 5 minutes writing down exactly how you feel without editing yourself. Acknowledging your own lived experience is the first step toward processing it.

Your voice matters. How are you choosing to check in today? 🐸

In truth we trust. 🖤 Real connection starts with honest conversations. When we drop the mask and speak openly about where we’re at, we make it safe for others to do the same. Truth is the foundation of mental health, seeking help, and showing up for one another.

We had a productive day at the University of Texas Volunteer Fair! 🧡

We spoke to lots of students about the HHAY mission, and signed up several amazing new volunteers.

It’s honestly inspiring to meet young people who care this much about mental health awareness. These students aren’t waiting around, they’re stepping up now to help build a future where talking about mental health is normal and supported.

Their energy gave us so much hope for what’s ahead. Welcome to the HHAY family, and thank you to everyone who stopped by our table today! 🐸
