Some people carry everyone else's burdens while hiding their own.

This week, check in on the friend who always listens, the teammate who always encourages others, the person who always says, "I'm good."

Support goes both ways.

We've got your back. 💛

Everyone faces hills.

The people beside us can't pedal for us, but they can encourage us, support us, and remind us that we're not riding alone 🚲💛

"I'm fine" isn't always the end of the conversation.

Sometimes it's an invitation to ask one more question.

Check in. Stay curious. Let people know they don't have to carry everything alone.

We had the best day with these awesome Aevidum students at Lebanon School District, Lebanon PA last week!!

We’re collaborating with Prevent Su***de PA to gather student voice and perspective for some new content for their Online Learning Center.

These brave student leaders shared openly about the views and experiences related to mental health. This content will be used to help educators meet the requirements of Act 71 which requires educators to have 4 hours of su***de prevention education every 5 years. We appreciate the students, advisors, and administrators of Lebanon School District for welcoming us into their school so openly and participating in the project so fully. We especially appreciate Ms. Zentner for coordinating our visit!

We’re still looking for one more school and/or group of students to interview in June. If you or your school are interested, please send us a message for email [email protected]. Stipends are available to support time and travel.
