Calling All Artists! Searching for Stories of Hope, Love, and Remembrance

Making Space for Open Conversations

I like to think that the times are changing when it comes to mental health. I have noticed our younger generations are speaking up about mental health. More and more young people are seeking ways to create change for themselves, their friends, and their families. Which is why I feel grateful to be a part of bringing Our Minds Matter to Central and Benson High Schools this past school year.

Avoiding the Comment Section

One of my favorite things to do during my lunch break is reading the comment sections on Facebook. These dramatic exchanges rival a soap opera! I find it amazing that even the most seemingly benign posts can lead to hostile discourse in the comments. For example, I belong to a Facebook group that focuses on a specific type of home décor (maximalism… I love it!). Group members often post pictures of their maximalist home designs – neon pink bathrooms, ornate mirrors, garish wallpaper – that kind of thing. One would think there wouldn’t be much drama past the occasional “not my style” kind of comment. Well, one would be wrong! Sometimes the group admins even have to turn off the comment section.
