As you settle into the school year, how do you unwind and recharge during the busy year? At YouthLine, we love to talk about coping skills and share what helps us feel better. Whether you move your body, connect with friends, or take time for yourself, there are so many ways to destress. Imagine dancing it out, taking a walk, catching up on sleep, playing your favorite video game, laughing with friends, getting lost in music, or jotting down your thoughts in a journal. What activities to you turn to when you're having a tough day?

If you ever want to talk about stress or anything else, we're here for you every day!

September is ***dePreventionMonth ๐Ÿฉต Su***de prevention is about creating connection, making sure people have access to supportive, proven care, and reminding others that hope and healing are possible.

Itโ€™s been a busy month for our YouthLine volunteers! ๐Ÿ’™

Last week, three of our Maui volunteers traveled to Portland to visit our headquarters before being joined by five more Portland based volunteers for an incredible trip to Washington, D.C. โœจ

While in D.C., our youth volunteers and staff participated in three panels and forums, met with delegates from Oregon and Hawaiสปi, and connected with mental health and crisis professionals from around the world!

Weโ€™re so proud of this amazing team and grateful to every volunteer and staff member who helped make this opportunity possible. Thank you for continuing to amplify youth voices and champion youth mental health! ๐Ÿ’™

August is National Wellness Month! Wellness can look different depending on the conditions we may have, the things we may have been through, or the way our brains function. Taking time to reflect on what wellness means to you as an individual is a great way to learn how to take the best care of yourself.
