๐Ÿ’กFun fact: When I travel to other countries, I love to stop at food stores to check out the local chips and candy. As a connoisseur of snacky foods๐Ÿ˜Š, I look for options that we don't have at home.

When in Italy at the WoHaSu, I spotted some spicy ketchup-flavored crispsโ€ฆ had to give them a try! And then I noticed the name on the packaging. I actually brought these chips to a training about Mental Health stigma for a healthy conversation about WORDS MATTER!

Some may say we are being too sensitive? Has someone ever used a word that you identify with in a casual way, and you were offended?!? โ€œyouโ€™re so crazyโ€ or โ€œthatโ€™s so gayโ€ are just a few phrases that Iโ€™ve heard in the past few daysโ€ฆ

I shared my speech at TEDxMiami - it was important to me because I wanted to share my research around how we all need to lean in to support each other to address our mental health crisis.

What I learned is that my message resonated withโ€ฆeverybody. From the organizers to the other presenters to the audience to the stage handsโ€ฆ everyone knows someone struggling and worrying about how to support others.

I'm so grateful to TEDx Miami for giving me the opportunity to share my message. On the rooftop after the event, complete strangers approached me to share their experiences. How amazing it was to let people know they can talk about what's happening in their world.

When someone in your circle is struggling, lean in, not out! This is how we'll solve our mental health crisis!๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿซถ

The problem is that there are not nearly enough therapists, and many families do not feel they can meet their mental health needs through formal mental health treatment.

I had so much fun recording a lightning talk for the upcoming National Systems of Care Virtual Summit, Better Together: Building Systems that Care.

This talk focuses on the Social Influences of Mental Health and helps people understand how we hold the solution to our mental health crisis.

If you're struggling with your mental health, you're not alone! We all struggle with mental health at some point in our lives.

There are many reasons for these struggles, and we need to know the root causes to put the right intervention in place. But it's also important to know that we have the power to impact our mental health.

As a Doctor of Public Health and a licensed mental health counselor, I focus on preventing diagnosable mental health conditions. My goal is to arm everyday people with the tools to improve their mental health and that of those in their circle. To that end, my area of expertise is in what I call the "Social Influences of Mental Health (SIMH)."

So, here are the five things impacting our mental health or SIMH:

๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€: Socially connected people experience a sense of belonging to a group and feel close to others. It involves feeling loved, cared for, and valued, forming the basis of our interpersonal relationships.

๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜: The help, advice, and comfort that we receive from those with whom we have stable, positive relationships define social support.

๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—น: When you feel that you have a network of support or contribute to the support of others, you experience a sense of belonging to that community.

๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐— ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฎ: Social media has both positive and negative aspects. It is necessary to understand how to use this connection tool in a way that will promote better mental health.

๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—น๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป: Social inclusion is when all groups of people have the same rights, opportunities, access to resources, and benefits.

Taking care of your mental health is a journey that starts with understanding how these social aspects can affect it. It's time to audit your life and make the changes that will benefit you the most!

How satisfied are you with each of these aspects?

Humans are social beings.๐Ÿค The need to connect with other human beings is built-in into our system, and we are wired for social connection. Research has shown that people perceive the world around them differently when they feel connected and supported by others. Social connection can be deepened and strengthened over time with conscious efforts.

โœจ Here are six ways to enhance and create a deeper connection with the people in your life.

โ‰ How do you cultivate your connections with others?

๐Ÿค What's good about social connection? It's all about the energy between people. When we connect with others, we can experience a sense of belonging and purpose.

I know it's cliche, but self-care is not selfish. It's a way to nurture yourself so you can nurture others. People often overlook it, but it's essential to make time for yourself. Make your own needs a priority, and then take the energy of that positive experience forward into the world.

๐Ÿ’ก What are your favorite self-care activities?

๐Ÿค” Are there times when you feel you're living a miserable life? Do you sometimes feel unhappy?

The truth is that life doesn't always work the way we want it to. While most of us want to live a happy life, many of us often do things (sometimes subconsciously) that make us unhappy. We may think our periods of unhappiness result from things not going our way, but some of our habits and actions contribute to that feeling.

๐Ÿ’ก Let's reflect on the 10 things you may be doing which make you unhappy or less happy than you can be.

โœ… Make complaining a habit
โœ… Compare yourself with others
โœ… Be hard on yourself
โœ… Live up to others' expectations
โœ… Replace social connection with self-isolation
โœ… Do things you don't love
โœ… Constantly worry about things
โœ… Suppress your emotions
โœ… Avoid sunshine and nature
โœ… Let your problems overwhelm you

๐Ÿค” Which one resonates with you, and how do you deal with them?
