Tomorrow, October 10, is World Mental Health Day! It reminds us that taking care of your mental health looks different for everyone. It can be taking care of yourself and others. It can be about connection and community.

Take a moment to check in with yourself. Be patient, kind, and compassionate with yourself. Connect with the people around you. Ask for support.

What does taking care of your mental health look like to you?

Ever wish there was a reliable and trustworthy social media resource that shared useful mental health information? Well, look no further!
In addition to providing direct clinical services, EBP Besties seek to share the best information that their research has to offer on common mental health topics. You can find them on social media with free, accessible content here:

Instagram
TikTok
YouTube

EBP stands for evidence-based practice. This means interventions demonstrated by research to be effective for improving mental health conditions and are flexible and individually tailored to meet the unique needs of each person. Many people are surprised to know that some therapies don't actually work or help people. We hope to change this by sharing and providing more about those strategies that do work!
