While it’s good to keep up to date with the news, remember to prioritize your mental health if it becomes too much. Here are some tips we’ve compiled, thanks to our friends at Mental Health Coalition.

1. Take an exercise break or go on a walk/run.
2. Make sure you’re getting enough rest every night. 
3. Listen to an episode of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance’s podcast.
4. Text HOME to the Crisis Text Line (741741) to connect with a real human.
5. If you are a LGBTQ+ youth and want to speak with a trained specialist via text, text START to 678678.
