"Each year, millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition. However, mental illness affects everyone directly or indirectly through family, friends or coworkers. That is why each year, during the first week of October, NAMI and participants across the country raise awareness of mental illness, fight discrimination and provide support through Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW)." -NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness)

The Florida State University College of Medicine has invited us to attend their second annual virtual Mental Health Awareness Week!
Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW) is a week-long series of events created to raise awareness about mental health illnesses and the populations that may be impacted by them. 

This year, they are kicking off the week with keynote speaker Kevin Hines. Mr. Hines is a well-known su***de prevention speaker. He has reached the hearts of millions traveling the world and sharing his story of jumping off of the Golden Gate Bridge in attempted su***de. Join us Monday, September 20th at 7pm (EST) to listen to him share his story and to kick off MHAW 2021.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. According to the Active Minds National Organization, su***de is the second leading cause of death among young adults. As an Active Minds chapter, the goal of our organization is to advocate for su***de prevention, and join in the fight of breaking down the stigma around talking about su***de and mental health.

3 simple ways you can help someone that you think may be struggling with thoughts of su***de:
1. Reach out
2. Listen
3. Seek help

These 3 simple steps could help save a life 💙💜

As we all gear up for finals week, remember that you are more than you GPA and that each day is a new day. Progress isn't linear, so it's okay if not every day is the best day. You are doing your best and that is enough!

We'll be back next week to support you through your finals, but in the meantime be sure to take breaks, move around, drink water, eat food, and get your rest!

You are capable! 💙💚✨
