Stronger Together – Mental Health Basics

Hi friends,
Our topic for this week’s Stronger Together conversation revolved around the video we’ll watch. We’re going to dive back into the “basics” of mental health: what it is, how we define it, and what that means for better understanding mental illness. It may sound like an elementary topic, but it’s definitely not.
The video is just a few minutes long, but it is packed with really useful information. I found it both valuable and interesting, and I’m pretty sure that like me, you’ll learn a thing or two when you watch it. To that end, I recommend watching it once by yourself ahead of time, and then again while we’re all together on the call. There’s a lot to absorb and discuss!
Our warm-up question for this week:
What’s one fact about you that most people are surprised to learn?

Stronger Together – Happy New Year!

Hi friends,
Welcome to 2023! Our theme for this week is “living a good life in 2023,” which, while related to mental health, is mostly about our broader well-being. To prepare for the conversation, please take a few minutes to read this letter from author Hunter S. Thompson, written in 1958 when he was only 22 years old.
Our warm-up question for this week:
What’s the worst–or funniest–New Year’s resolution you or someone you know ever made?
